About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a serious, sobering faith drama about persecution and perseverance, similar to Risen or The Bible; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing, lighter tone, or less overt religious messaging.
Pros: strong performances; immersive ancient Rome setting; moving faith themes | Cons: slow, heavy start; fractured flashbacks; preachy for some
