This movie was beautiful even to a non believer of the church. I had read the reviews and almost didn't watch it. I'm glad that I ignored the bad comments as those are the very reason I do not attend a church. If someone wasn't moved by this, to me that's sad. It was an honest depiction of the night Christ was born and the music only enhanced the story. Thank you for the story and the music at a time of year we get lost in the other traditions of Christmas.
It was moving.
DO NOT WATCH THIS! This movie was a scam! I am so sad because I waited weeks to go see this. It was all music video promotion and 20 mins of short film. It did not make me feel the love Jesus makes me feel. I am disappointed and hurt by Dallas and his wife. I will not be watching the Chosen anymore because it feels like all they wanted was a profit. Such a shame! They sold themselves out to make extra money
The passion of all the artists was heart warming and inspirational. The movie was a perfect blend of their beautiful rendition of classic songs and showed that today's artists can express deeply their emotion and love for Christ in their new music. I have been looking for this movie since I saw it to give to my family and friends who are old school and not into electronic versions. It was emotionally and inspiring. Definitely even better than five stars!
So far as I can tell, this was just a 2-hour commercial to give a gaggle of would-be Christian artists some screen time at my expense. We took our son because we hoped it would encourage him to watch the series. That backfired. I’m just glad I didn’t invite anyone else. This musical shopping channel experience left me with mush a sour taste that my own enthusiasm for watching future seasons is greatly diminished.
To many music performances and the dialog of the actual episode came across as stilted and fake
Horrible 400-year low-quailty music video. Unending crap. Moronic monologs by unknown "artists". This may be a sign of the demise of the chosen.
The movie was marketed as a special about the birth of Christ. Instead, we suffered through a poor musical that overshadowed the short movie.
Wonderful Christmas music. Just loved it. People must not know how to read anymore. This was a Christmas music special.
Lovely CHRISTMAS MUSICAL!! It was never a MOVIE for those who can't read.
