I thought there were one or two places near the start where it didn't seem quite sure of itself: there seemed to be characters or story elements that didn't really get picked up, possibly inherited from the book and an earlier draft?
Once they're on the road, though, it's first-rate. I liked that the bits of the nativity story it chose to emphasize: Joseph's part in it all, and the fact that the family were refugees.

And, yes, the violence was awful, but necessary.
