This is not a film for neophytes: It proceeds from the assumption that the viewer is familiar with the events and people of Jesus' life, and is probably right in doing so: Its intended audience is seriously Christian....read the complete Color of the Cross (2006) review at TV Guide (Maitland McDonagh)

Once the revisionist frisson of a black Jesus, not to mention Mary, Joseph and Judas, has worn off, one is stuck with more mundane matters such as story dynamics, visual style and character verisimilitude, much to the misfortune of the audience....read the complete Color of the Cross (2006) review at Variety (Todd McCarthy)

This movie lives up to its promotion attributes and not only LaMarre, but the entire cast is hereby Heralded. It is an excellent film and should be widely viewed by the general public. It is very unfortunate and very sad that many of our people and ...

As a low budget film "Color of the Cross" was excellently done. Has great acting. As with all directors, there is some dramatization of the original story, but La Marre does stay close to the Scripture.
The inference that the crucifixion of Jesus was ...

You are in store for a philsophical treat. The hook for me? Jesus as a black man. Although, it follows the same pre-cursor concept as previous "jesus BC flicks, BC= before crucificion", there is very little violence and those violent situational segments ...
