My wife and I really enjoyed this film. The acting was spot and it's different from ALL the other movies made about Jesus and really none about Mary M. Sit back and enjoy it!!

This movie was brilliantly made, it shows you the life of Mary Magdalene, but at the same time, it also focuses on Jesus. I don't believe any other cast could have pulled this off. Watch the film, it's not to be compared to the Passion and its brutality. This film shows this bible story for what it should have been. The game changer for this movie is Simion called Peter, in the book of ACTS chapter 13 Simion Called Peter from NIGER is called a black man. which means there should be more game-changing movies to come.
Summary: EPIC MOVIE !!!!!!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Although this movie may be inaccurate to the gospel accounts, it was beautiful to watch and the acting is superb.A fresh take of Mary Magdalene the prostitute and Jesus's follower portrayed as a intelligent and kind woman who loves and cares for Jesus and whose actions mirror his is beautiful to watch . Her life is portrayed as I would like to believe it actually was. This film also shows Jesus and the burden he had to carry throughout his life not only at Crucifixion.This is surprisingly one of the best movies about the true nature of Jesus that I've ever seen.

Visual and aesthetically beautiful, the photography by Greig Fraser is more than polished, and contributes to the pair of music in the development and in making the viewer empathize with a Mary. He took her as a prostitute. The performances of both Mara and Phoenix is impeccable.
A slow movie that takes its time, at times seems to decay in its argument, but always hooks correctly again. A good new and refreshing proposal within the biblical cinema.
Watch with this movie with heart and open mindedness and remember this Mary's story.… Expand
