Film Review – David (2025)

Angel Studios enjoyed success with last spring’s “The King of Kings,” which provided an animated study of the life of Jesus, as interpreted by author Charles Dickens. It’s perhaps the only Biblical tale that involved the antics of a cartoon cat, but the picture attracted an Easter audience, and Angel is trying to make some monetary magic happen again with “David,” which explores a story of heavenly purpose and leadership. It’s not a continuation of “The King of Kings” (no crazy felines this time), with writer/directors Brent Dawes and Phil Cunningham submitting a musical that’s occasionally interrupted by battlefield action and power plays. The movie really wants to inspire with its messages of Godly submission, but “David” isn’t very compelling, offering mostly uninspired tunes and routine animation as it provides a look at the main character’s journey of devotion.
