Christian Reviewers Praise Easter Movie 'Paul, Apostle of Christ'

Last week, Affirm Films released Paul, Apostle of Christ to theaters. A seemingly perfect Eastertime flick, the movie tells the story of Paul “going from the most infamous persecutor of Christians to Jesus Christ’s most influential apostle,” according to IMDB. While some “Christian” and Bible-based films range from being low-quality adaptations of the Bible to being simply low-quality films, Paul appears to have hit a sweet spot in both quality and accuracy.
According to Paul Asay at Focus on the Family’s PluggedIn Movie Reviews, Paul, Apostle of Christ is a “good” movie in more than one sense of the word. It’s not only “filled with lots of encouraging Christian content and positive messages,” but it’s also “a well-crafted, moving film with strong performances.”
His primary word of caution regarding the film has to do with the violent content. Thinking of families with younger viewers, Asay points out that the depiction of Roman cruelty could make it tough for some to watch. But the captivating way in which the film brings to life “one of Christendom’s most compelling founders” makes it worthwhile for other moviegoers.
