Twitter Capsule: Daring rewrite of 2000-year-old treachery, passing for a long time as classical, almost POV-less account. Gorgeous.

VOR:   Familiar style and look are crucial to the film's fakeout, especially in retrospect. A brazen provocation concealed in a modest envelope. Can't blame folks for missing it.
