TheWrap - Unnamed
Young Messiah is more quiet than action-driven, more sober than fantastical (that slinky Satan notwithstanding), and more dull than poetic.

RogerEbert.com - Christy Lemire
That’s one dismayingly archaic trend throughout The Young Messiah: the fiendish characters are also wildly effeminate.

Entertainment Weekly - Unnamed
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.

Los Angeles Times - Noel Murray
In the end, as with too many Gospel-derived dramas, The Young Messiah could’ve used less literalism, and more mystery.

The Hollywood Reporter - Keith Uhlich
The Young Messiah is just, like, barely competent enough that the faith-based target audience won't feel entirely cheated.
