Title: Really wanted to like this movie
Product review: I really wanted to like this film. I love the biblical story and had looked forward sharing this film with my catechism class. Unfortunately, I am not going to show it in class because it's not a good film.The beginning is very confusing even if you've read the Bible. The dialogue is weak (why do they choose English accents for so many of the characters?). I was looking forward to more focus on the great feast Esther prepares for Xerxes following the period of fasting, but was dissapointed. There's a climatic scene with Esther running to the king, but the ending seems anti-climatic afterward.I wanted to root for this movie because I know the Bible has a rich treasure trove of dramatic stories to be enjoyed by everyone. This one unfortunately missed the mark.
