Yet another review that is worth taking note of, because what it expresses will surely be commonplace: Nothing Could Have Prepared Me For What I Saw Last Night.

Exerpts:

"But there is nothing in my existence – nothing I could have read, seen, heard, thought, or known – that could have prepared me for what I saw on screen last night."

"There isn’t even the sense that one has just watched a movie. What it is, is an experience – on a level of primary emotion that is scarcely comprehensible. Every shred of human preconception or predisposition is utterly stripped away."

"For the first time, one gets a heart-stopping idea of the sense of madness that must have enveloped Jesus – a sense of the evil that was at His very elbow."

"The truth is this: Is it just a 'movie'? In a way, yes. But it goes far beyond that, in a fashion I’ve never felt – in any forum. We may think we 'know.' We know nothing. We’ve gone 2,000 years – used to the idea of a pleasant story, and a sanitized Christ. We expect the ending, because we’ve heard it so many times. God forgive us. This film tears that all away. It’s as close as any of us will ever get to knowing, until we fully know. Paul understood. 'Be urgent, in and out of season.'"
