Interesting telling of the story of Hadassah (Esther). I am not that familiar with the Biblical version, however, I am sure that the movie is not true to it. Currently, I am reading the "Hadassah" by Tommy Tenney the book that the movie is based. There are glaring differences between the book and the movie. I don't know if I was comfortable with how Esther was portrayed as some flighty, sexualized young woman in the movie. I saw the movie knowing that it would be the Hollywood version of the story of Esther, so I was prepared. However, I think I would recommend that people read the Bible version and use their own imaginations rather than seeing this movie. Would recommend, with caution.
