I generally like The Star, but the more times I’ve heard it (as my kids watch it), the less I like it. I agree with Ed’s points about Mary, although I’m more okay with her portrayal than Ed is. What bothers me most is the portrayal of Joseph; he’s anxious, fearful, and has very little faith. St. Joseph deserves better than that.

Amennnnnn! He’s very unlikeable for much of the movie and I’m so terribly offended by that. I have a deep love of this holy man (and have my own Joseph in his honor!) and taking him from silent and just (aka righteous ) to that crank in the Star bothers me heaps
