“The Holy Family” succeeds at dramatizing some of the biblical events in the lives of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, and setting up dramatic conflict between the Romans and the Jews and conflict between various characters. Despite the dramatic content, the film does include some humor, including a scene in which Joseph deals with a stubborn mule.
The film focuses on the story of Joseph and Mary’s betrothal, the eventual birth of Jesus in a manger, Jesus’s childhood and his developing relationship with Joseph and Mary.
The movie features strong acting, beautiful cinematography, and highlights of Jesus’ childhood. The story of Joseph and Mary comes back to life in this inspirational film. We are pleased to award “The Holy Family” our Faith Friendly Seal for all ages, although it is not intended for young children.
