Summary: Excellent Portrayal
Review: "Esther" was a well-done portrayal of the biblical story. The writers stuck closely to the biblical version of the story and the photography and sets were beautiful. The actors were excellent and in my mind captured the allure of the characters. Over-all a wonderful movie for viewers of all ages.

Summary: Another Terrific Turner Bible Movie
Review: All the Turner bible movies are terrific. Like I always say, it's some of the only television/video "you can watch with your mom in the room." The dialogue and pace are tremendous in Esther, and the romantic scenes (there are many in the bible) are done tastefully, sensually, and they don't insult the intelligence or taste of the viewer. Like all the Turner bible series, this one is a treat to watch; entertaining, provocative, yet absolutely clean and respectful to all faiths. I recommend them all.

Summary: I cried, I laughed, I cheered, & exalted!
Review: As a born again Christian, lover of history, beauty, & courage, Esther was such an inspiration to me. A few liberties were taken (ie. God is never mentioned in the Book of Esther, while He is in the movie.) But these liberties actually succeeded in bringing out the meaning of the Biblical story. Some of the acting done by the actors playing the eunuchs was a little stilted, but it also didn't damage the progression of the story. This movie is an excellent teaching tool to get people interested in the Bible. It tells a story of a young woman who is an example for women of all ages. Esther is courageous, honest, graceful, empathetic, & a woman of integrity & dignity. Through her bravery, faith, & wisdom she brought the enemy of her people down & gained the respect & love of her young, impetuous, & immature husband who was a reluctant king. Because of her qualities Esther didn't have to use ruthlessness & vulgarity, or dishonesty to bring down her & her people's enemies. Because of her dignity she won the place as partner with her husband in ruling Persia, & certainly her husband needed someone who could help him in his responsibilities & help him to grow up & rule responsibly. So many girls & women in our society could use Esther as their role model. She was Every Woman & a Lady! She was truly a "Liberated woman."

Summary: Good but production low-budget?
Review: Enjoyed this biblical account of Queen Esther and her influence over and protection of the nation of Israel.I felt the production could have been a bit more interesting and graphical. I felt it was lacking in visual scenes and it seemed more could have been spent to "beef it up a bit" if you compare it with something like the Movie "King David" with Richard Gere or the movie "Joseph" which was extremely well done! However, this is still a good portrayal of the lovely biblical Queen Esther and her goodness and "drive" to save the Jewish nation! You will get the message!

Summary: Good but production low-budget?
Review: Esther shines as a light in a dark place, and the story follows closely the biblical account in a beautiful way. Esther is portrayed radiantly, as is her uncle Mordecai, played with intensity by F. Murray Abraham. History has shown what the consequences of her actions were - "how God has allowed you to live in such a time like this." It's a wake-up call for us all.
