A pretty well balanced piece in the Jerusalem Post.
Note however, the 6th paragrah from the bottom, repeated here:
The problem with The Passion, Weinreb says in the video, is that Jewish audience members may identify with Jesus, "disidentify with their own God-given identity as a Jewish people," and develop "inner doubts." The solution, he says, is for Jews to learn more about Judaism and Christianity so that "we can be proud of the ways in which we are different."
Problematic if not revealing "problem." Does it kind of confirm what you're thinking?
Good solution, however, "for Jews to learn more about Judaism and Christianity...."
May our Jewish Savior and Lord save us all.

You've been holding back on us, A-G!
(Actually: thought this article and highlighted quote may be worth a little rumination.)

"Nonetheless, Sheehy was shocked by the film's gore. "It's a horrifying depiction, and from my point of view it just went overboard," he said. "It's like taking the story of Moses and showing only the worst aspects of it. It's not a fun movie. It's not a family movie. It's gut-wrenching," he said."
and what was he expecting... power rangers and my little pony???
