0ur opinion: :Few movies are as vividly tactile as Young Adam. The way the cold blue light of Scotland envelopes everything--wooden bannisters, rippling water, rough fabric, coal soot caked in human skin, and flesh itself--makes you feel like you could reach out and touch it all.

The Miracle Maker - The Story of Jesus

Grant as John the Baptist, and David Thewlis as Judas. The lovely, flute-heavy score is by 0scar winner Anne Dudley (The Full Monty). And clearly a lot of expense has gone into the Claymation-like animation. But while it's hard to find fault ...
