A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
The First Easter
This is a lavish, reverential dramatization of the first Easter based on the passage in Luke 24: 1-35. Included is the appearance of the risen Lord to Mary and the Disciples, the walk to Emmaus and the convincing of St. Thomas that Jesus has risen.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
