Michael Wilmington · Chicago Tribune 75.00/100.00

The Nativity Story surprised me. I didn't expect such an obvious art film approach. Yet the Bible, in the King James version, is great English literature.

The Nativity story is a fine retelling of the inspiring real life story. With sincere performances from Keisha Castle-Hughes and Oscar Isaac.

Mick LaSalle · San Francisco Chronicle 75.00/100.00

By grounding everything that went before in an earthy realism, Hardwicke earns the elevation of the nativity sequence, one of the more beautiful scenes in this year's cinema.
