Not the Messiah (He's a Very Naughty Boy) is a solid entry rated 7.0/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.
A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.
A 2010 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
