There are much better versions of The Pilgrimage Play on screen. This one lacks the emotional depths that the modern versions brings. This film feels like a play on screen instead of a movie, it's not grand.
I will say this film is for Christians only - I can't see others watching this and enjoying it as purely cinema.
Nelson Leigh does play Jesus well, he's the only one that seems to take the film seriously and to heart. The other actors in this film seem more like zombies and just saying the line rather than acting them out.
I don't recommend this film - watch a more modern version of this story if you want to see a film on the adult life of Jesus.
4/10.
