The Last Supper review
Undemanding retelling of Jesus’s choice miracles, breaking bread at dinner and the subsequent crucifixion and resurrection ticks basic boxes but offers no depth
TL;DR
- The film dramatizes Jesus's final meal and the events leading to his crucifixion and resurrection.
- It covers basic New Testament theological points, including the miracle of loaves and fishes and the invention of the Eucharist.
- The portrayal emphasizes Jesus as the Son of God and Messiah, while also noting his Jewish identity and the Passover context.
- A strong emphasis is placed on the apostle Peter's experiences.
- The film's production values are considered fine, though the score is overbearing and Moroccan locations provide a photogenic backdrop.
- The reviewer suggests the film could have been more impactful by focusing solely on the supper in real time.
