Story of Jesus... told with the rage of Cage!
Daily Express
|November 21, 2025
NICOLAS Cage is very much in the experimental independent film stage of his career and his latest movie is as wild as ever.
-
The Oscar winner stars as Joseph (more old surfer hippie dude than 1st century stepfather to the Son of God) opposite pop star FKA Twigs' Virgin Mary in the new supernatural thriller, The Carpenter's Son.
Opening with the newlyweds smuggling Jesus out of Bethlehem as King Herod's men burn a newborn baby alive, it is clear this ambitious film isn't going to hold back.
The focus of its strange tale is the Flight to Egypt when the Holy Family is hiding in exile from the Massacre of the Innocents. However, writer-director Lotfy Nathan has departed from the traditional gospel narratives, which New Testament scholars date within the disciples' lifetime.
