Vidor brings a humane yet grounded aura to Anne, one that feels lived.

What we get here is no more real than a Hallmark card, except that it’s a different kind of Hallmark card, one in which Mary has to jump off a roof to escape a burning building and Joseph (Ido Tako) gets into sword fights.

Rated: 1/4

America Magazine

The results aren’t disrespectful, just a hodge-podge, a sort of overly reverent sword-and-sandals epic rich in awe-struck characters, Luciferian mischief and historical opportunism.

The problem here is that it's neither biblical nor scholarly.

Likely fearing a stumble into the deep end of Lake Blasphemy, Caruso errs on the side of humorlessness, which pushes proceedings into the realm of overbaked melodrama.

The changes they made to the story were intriguing and drew me in. Something different for this holiday season

Such a trash movie. It was Christmas and it was supposed to be something about Jesus and Christianity and stuff. But instead, in the very first 10 minutes all I heard was lots of conversations about jewish stuff. Even though I am not a religious person at all, I felt the movie about Mary shouldn't have so much jewishness in it. It felt like someone was trying to deliberately distort the understanding of history of Christianity.

This was such a disappointment, “artistic” license was taken, and in my opinion, tarnished the beautiful story of God’s pure vessel of our savior Jesus Christ the one saving Grace was the character of Anna, the prophetess, but it was completely taken out of context as Mary did not know or had ever met Anna until she had dedicated Jesus Christ at the temple after her purification was complete. Just sad.

Someone has to say it. Non Catholics should just lay off the whole doctrine of Mary. Obviously they don't understand it, and no one's sticking it down their throats either.

I'm an atheist but everything about this movie is wrong. Starting with the casting of Mary.

I love biblical stories that writers expound upon like the Chosen series, but this movie was a great disappointment. The writers took too many creative liberties, yet left out parts of the biblical record.

I think Mary was a bad ass by God's standards, not by men's - and this interpretation of the story tries to bring more action hero to her than what seems to fit.
