The Red Tent (2014)
8/10
A False Bible ***
25 December 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Well acted but watch for gross historical inaccuracies as the author must have desperately tried to make the Jews coming into Egypt more of a romantic adventure.

True, this is a story of family betrayal and ultimate redemption, but come on, let's not lose sight of historical events occurring as they did.

Laban is made out to be a drunken man, instead of the man who tricked Jacob into marrying Leah instead of his beloved Rachel.

Leah's sons were evil, but killing a king and destroying their step-sister's opportunity was a bit over the top. After their dastardly deed, they are mentioned in the rest of the picture, but there is no talk of what became of them, unless the author meant letting nature and the years take their course.
