Standout Aspects

Production

Practical ark construction that'd make Noah weep with envy.

Direction

Huston directs AND plays Noah with drunk-uncle energy.

Cinematography

Technicolor Eden that looks edible.

Best for:Solo: When you want to feel small and cosmically judged.·Family: If your family can handle Abraham almost sacrificing Isaac.·Theater: Would've hit different on 70mm in '66.
Heads up:Violence: Cain bashes Abel. Off-screen but you hear it.·Emotional: Isaac's near-sacrifice is genuinely traumatic.
