In the first century, free-spirited Mary Magdalene flees the marriage her family has arranged for her, finding refuge and a sense of purpose in a radical new movement led by the charismatic, rabble-rousing preacher named Jesus.

Best movie ever!
Beautiful, moving film.
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
Such a beautiful film. Much more believeable than the biblical version.
Joaquin Phoenix gives you stoned Jesus, Rooney Mara would have been memorable in the role.
I'm only submitting this review to make the point that bothered me throughout the entire film. Jesus was 33yrs old at the time of his death, Joaquin Phoenix is ten years older so while I really admire him as an actor, he's totally miscast. He just comes across as a pseudo prophet here & I certainly didn't get a Christlike vibe from him at all. Jesus had an aura & a charisma & that's why people followed him. Joaquin is just too melancholy. He might have been better cast as John the Baptist. Rooney Mara was quite impressive as Mary Magdalene & she carried the whole film. Overall, a disappointing film & not as impactful as 'The Passion Of The Christ'.
I am very touched as a Muslim. Very close to the profile of Prophet Muhammad. And salute to the clean Mary Magdalene.
