violence
Christ is shown being beaten and whipped, with bloody detail, before the Crown of Thorns is placed on His head. During the Crucifixion, there is sight of blood spurts as nails are driven through Him. There are also some bloody stabbings.
sex
A woman is seen having sex with multiple men who lie on top of her and gently thrust into her. It is implied the men are paying for sex. Another scene shows a man and a woman having sex. The scene is visually discreet but features some nudity as the couple are entwined.
injury detail
There is sight of blood in the aftermath of violence.
nudity
A woman's breast is briefly seen after sex. There is also natural and non sexual full frontal male and female nudity, within the context of a baptism.
theme
The film's theme may offend some viewers, especially some religious viewers. In particular, its suggestion that, as He died on the Cross, Christ may have considered what His life might have been like had He led a more ordinary life, rather than one of sacrifice. Nonetheless, the film treats this idea seriously, rather than irreverently, and does not suggest that He succumbed to any such temptation.
Contains violence, gore and moderate sex
