Well-acted, beautifully photographed and edited, it's a brisk story told with African music and universal pathos.

The film is worth watching just to see how the story is adapted, and for the elements that give it a National Geographic flair.

Son of Man boils down the life of Jesus Christ to 86 concise minutes, restoring layers of political motivation largely absent from The Passion of the Christ and adding stirring original vocal music.

The religious set will certainly enjoy this vividly colorful new take on Jesus but the film sort of limits itself from the rest of us.
