Exodus: Gods And Kings

 
Charlotte wanted to see this because, like every child in western civilisation, she had covered the story of Moses at school.
It's a good thing she had too because there's no attempt to actually tell the story in the film, just a flat montage of images that nudge your memory into joining the necessary dots.

    1. We got to flies (4) when Charlotte turned to me and asked 'is this the 10 plagues?'
      You've gotta be seriously ham-fisted to fuck up the plagues.
