TheWrap
Young Messiah is more quiet than action-driven, more sober than fantastical (that slinky Satan notwithstanding), and more dull than poetic. - 50
RogerEbert.com
That’s one dismayingly archaic trend throughout The Young Messiah: the fiendish characters are also wildly effeminate. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
As this year’s other Jesus movies go, at least Risen managed to add new characters and perspective to one of the world’s most well-known stories. The Young Messiah struggles to hold its audience’s attention. - 40
Los Angeles Times
In the end, as with too many Gospel-derived dramas, The Young Messiah could’ve used less literalism, and more mystery. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
The Young Messiah is just, like, barely competent enough that the faith-based target audience won't feel entirely cheated. - 40
The New York Times
For all the healing here — the revived include a bird, an ailing uncle and a blind man — The Young Messiah performs no miracles. - 38
Movie Nation
The direction, by Cyrus Nowrasteh (“The Stoning of Soroya M.”) lacks urgency or art. The performances are, for the most part, emotionally flat. - 30
Variety
This pious drama is a work of minimal imagination and even less subtlety.
