Factual error: A few scenes in the movie show Roman cavalrymen using stirrups, which were not used by the Romans until several centuries later.

The Young Messiah is a fictional imagining of a glimpse into the life of 7-year-old Jesus as he, Mary and Joseph along with members of their family, traveled to Nazareth. Along the way, Jesus witnesses some of the cruelty of the Roman occupation, experiences danger and bullying from his own people, performs early miracles and seeks knowledge while trying to understand his destiny. Mostly British accents and some historical inaccuracies undermine an otherwise earnest and reverent attempt to examine a little known period in Jesus' life. Slow-paced, and may be challenging to some for its depictions.
