Alt-Jesus retelling 'The Carpenter's Son' is worse than blasphemous — it's boring

'The Carpenter's Son' has drawn attention for its uninspired retelling of Jesus' childhood, a theme that resonates with the ongoing exploration of familial relationships in cinema, as seen in 'Trifole.' This Italian drama also delves into generational bonds, albeit in a more engaging manner. While 'The Carpenter's Son' struggles with its execution, other films like 'Bunker,' featuring stars such as Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, showcase how strong narratives can elevate performances. The contrast highlights the importance of storytelling in film, where even star power cannot compensate for a lack of substance.
