Special effects/design: 4/4 (Great)

Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good, 3/4). A moving painting. The plot is Shakespearean and biblical - and corny and predictable. I'm glad I read Ebert's essay before watching it; if I had gone in not knowing what to expect, I'd probably have been frustrated and/or confused.
Objective Rating (Average): 3.0/4 (Good)
