The film has errors in description and history and the message of Joseph somehow was not as forthcoming as a Prophet. Thus it became like an off the rack biblical tale. Would not watch it the second time. the direction is good but the acting needs little professionalism. Joseph was desribed as a very handsome man which the actor is not.
