Mini-Review: This film is perhaps the most intelligent, deft and multifaceted retelling of the Christmas story you will probably ever have the fortune of coming across. Oh, most of the simpleton mainstream Christians probably won't 'get it'. The film certainly doesn't spell it all out for you like some tidy biblical epic. But subtly, symbolically (and, at one point, even hilariously) the connections to the nativity story are certainly present.
