The King of Kings tells the greatest story ever told, at least according to Christians, through CGI animation and a somewhat clever narrative twist. Adapted from Charles Dickens‘ The Life of Our Lord, the famed author teaches his rambunctious young son about Jesus Christ from his birth in a Bethlehem manger to cruel crucifixion at the hands of Pontius Pilate and the High Priest Caiaphas. Writer/director Seong-ho Jang ticks every Bible school box while also explaining complex and harsh themes to the target audience. Angel Studios’ The King of Kings is still meant for young children, though, and will undoubtedly keep them entertained.
