Title: The Lord works in strange and inconvenient ways.
Review: The great thing about this movie is that it shows the unfolding of the events surrounding the birth of Christ is something like "real time". We get to see day-to-day life in Nazareth, and how the lives of Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth, and their families were impacted by Mary's pregnancy and the attempts by the Romans to keep the Messiah from being born.I thought the sets were great, the photography beautiful, and the soundrack very appropriate.My one criticism is that the acting was for the most part dry and emotionless. It's like there wasn't a lot of acting in the acting, if that makes any sense.Certainly worth seeing once, epecially for Christians, but as for me I don't think it will be one of the movies that will be come a Christmas tradition. Once through is enough.
