Elements of greatness, but not enough. Mary was undoubtedly a great disciple, but this is a bit of a disappointment. Joaquin Phoenix was miscast -- 10 years too old and playing it like Jesus is a little bit crazy, rather than someone who's one with God. Not a waste of time but could've been better. Not the "dullest story ever told" as there is defintely something enigmatic about the story.

Not the worst biblical movie made by a long shot ( eg Noah ), but there were bits of it that just didn't sit well, and were slightly blasphemous. But I liked bits of this movie, and think that it did give good insight that is not common teaching. I think Olive Grove7 has nailed a part of the weirdness of it........
