Christmas with the Chosen

My husband and I were so looking forward to seeing this movie after watching the chosen series. This was nothing like that. It's over an hour of music and dialogue from singers and actors with a very short movie - I would have loved about a tenth of the music and more story. I wish I could recommend this but unfortunately it just wasn't what I expected.

It has been a long since I had a theatre experience since COVID protocols.

This show was soo good.

Kept the same production, artistic values of other Chosen episodes.

The crew really brought all the emotional factors of nativity and birth of Jesus into the show.

Really loved a lot.

This is not a movie. It's a Christmas special. The first 1:10 minutes are literally Christian artists singing - they are all amazing absolutely, but if you're not prepared to watch music videos for an hour straight this will be hard for you to sit through. The episode itself was honestly hard to watch as my entire family was ready to leave, we could not get all of the music out of our heads. This did not do justice at all to how epic the TV show is.

Speechless. The manger scene truly hits home if you have a child of your own. Brilliantly acted, brilliant production.

As with everything else involving The Chosen, an absolute masterpiece.

I came to see a story about the Birth of Jesus, Mary and Joseph's trouble finding a place in Bethlehem, their closeness and trust in God.

Instead I sat through what felt like the longest music video ever.

Be prepared for more than 1hr of music and a brief, significantly brief, representation of the Christmas story.

Don't take me wrong, I love Christmas music as the next Christian, but if you're advertising Christmas with the Chosen, I did not see how these bands and singers were a representation of the Chosen, the project and the series that we have come to love and long for.

I think it would've been better off with a different name, music and the Chosen, or something like that.
