'The Passion of the Christ'

Quality Rating • Not Dove Family-Approved

Content Description

"The Passion of the Christ" is a movie that every Christian adult must see. It is transforming to watch the words of the Gospels come to life before your eyes and your heart. In my opinion, older children should be allowed to see this moving film, but only if parents feel they are mature enough to endure the graphic scenes of flogging and a very realistic crucifixion.
