XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

WVfilmfem First, you have what appears to be a drug addled Joachin trying to portray Jesus. Plus, a totally fictionalized backstory of Mary Magdalene. Add to this an impossibly slow script and a cynical Hollywood politically correct yet another attempt to rewrite history. Unwatchable.

jason-41337 All stories about Jesus are fake. People on here claiming it's not historically accurate because it doesn't tell the story like their church tells it is just laughable. Joaquin Phoenix does a good job and it 's a mostly entertaining watch. Can be slow in places, but still alright.

franic-41673 Yet another popular take of the story of Jesus and his followers, well put and with a slight feminist angle. But I wonder: why does nobody seem to have the interest and/or courage to put to film an alternative Jesus story -- think, for example, Gerald Messadie's classic book "The man Who Became God" which resonates later findings by researcher Holger Kersten. I would like very much to see a movie version of Messadie's account and I am quiet sure it would cause some stir -- something a quasi-traditionalist and complacent narrative such as "Mary Magdalene" fails to accomplish.

joannemidstream Well crafted effort to portray the 13th Apostle. The face of Christ reminded me of Rembrandt's great portrait.
