  WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Based on the book by Denis Johnson, Jesus

DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 2.35:1 DVD exhibits generally satisfying imagery that, at times, has a home video-type of character due to the vibrant colors and hand-held camera work. Images are generally sharp and detailed, though sometimes images appear slightly undefined. At times, hues border oversaturation and are wanting in a more open appearance. Edge enhancement can be a bit of a distraction. (Suzanne Hodges)

Soundtrack:
The Dolby
