Is this based on the novel written by P.D. James about 20 years ago?
I used to like her writing, especially the Inspector Dagleish series, until she wrote this dreck.
Yes it is. This is basically the Nativity Story in the context of a dystopian future. Joseph and Mary in the war zone.
My wife says the book is not bad and that the movie apparently bears only a passing resemblance to the book.
