Color of the Cross, a low-budget re-imagining of Christs final days, makes a big deal out of the relatively tame suggestion that Jesus was black. Nov 10, 2006 | Rating: 1.5/4

Filled with close-ups of Jesus and his apostles (all the better to hide the absence of elaborate period sets), mixing quotes from the Scripture with flat exposition, this low-budget affair is earnest and, alas, more than a little bit cartoonish. Nov 10, 2006 | Rating: 2/4

...The first film to depict a black African Jesus is hindered by shoddy production values and so-so storytelling. Oct 27, 2006 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Lacking the drama of Jesus' trial and the passion, as well as the substance of his teachings, (actor Jean Claude) LaMarre's turgid take has very little to offer dramatically or inspirationally. Oct 26, 2006

Many are calling Color of the Cross controversial, but it's really not. It simply states a possibility -- that Christ was a man of color -- which it dramatizes earnestly within the narrow confines of its $2.5 million budget. Oct 26, 2006 | Full Review…

Director, cowriter, coproducer and star LaMarre is more interested in Jesus' teachings than in his suffering, and suggests that race may have helped shape the course of biblical events. Nov 10, 2006 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

A too-specific tale of historic injustice rather than one of divinely benevolent sacrifice on everybody's behalf. Nov 9, 2006

Press releases are promoting the film as 'controversial' before the fact, but compared to such predecessors as 'Jesus Christ Superstar,' 'Godspell' and 'The Passion of the Christ,' 'Color' -- race issue aside -- unspools like a Sunday-school filmstrip. Nov 6, 2006 | Rating: 2/4
