Mary Magdalene
In an attempt to find a solution, Elisha sought the help of Jesus, the healer who gained fame among the Jews of the region with his speeches about a kingdom of peace and love free from hatred, tyranny, repression and prosecution, to heal Mary. Through her surprise at Christ's charisma, personality and words, Mary decided to follow him despite strong opposition to her family.

It turns out to be a failed exercise...redundant, slow and schematic. [Full Review in Spanish]March 28, 2018
A film of little dialogue, almost entirely made of mood. But the mood is pretty magical ... truly depicts how scary it would be to see someone brought back from the dead ... title is a cheat; this is the story of Christ, even if he has less close-ups.March 29, 2018
Mary Magdalene here is a woman who fights for what she believes, who moves away from her family to follow Jesus... [Full review in Spanish]April 10, 2018
Rooney Mara is a remarkable actress, suggestive, sober, but her presence does not alleviate in the midst of so much boredom. [Full Review in Spanish]April 03, 2018
The film is so slow at times it becomes monotonous. [Full Review in Spanish]February 27, 2018
Hushed, deliberate and realised with considerable care and beauty, the resulting film has its heart entirely in the right place; its pulse, unfortunately, is far harder to locate.April 09, 2018
An intermittently convincing film about belief, rather than a film to believe in.March 08, 2018
It ripples with interesting ideas, but the overall effect is glassy and inert, with Rooney Mara's Mary an oddly elusive presence in the film that carries her name.May 18, 2018
So earnest and reverent that it's just dull.April 11, 2018
I'll freely admit that I'm not a religious person and perhaps this influences my opinion... but I didn't find Mary Magdalene to be an interesting character.February 27, 2018
Other than to show that a woman called Mary who wasn't a prostitute was involved in the final weeks of the Jesus story, I have no idea what the filmmakers wanted for this project. I'm pretty sure they didn't achieve it.February 27, 2018
Mary Magdalene only snaps into focus as narrative when we get to Jerusalem, chiefly because it gives these kids something to physically rail against - moneylenders, Judas kisses, Romans, and all. It's a little on the late side, though.
