Mary Magdalene has obvious reverence for its subject; unfortunately, it lacks enough momentum or depth of character to make her story interesting. Read critic reviews

Neither Rooney Mara (as Mary) nor Joaquin Phoenix (as Jesus) are especially compelling.

It is so slow and so boring.

This is a noble effort, but ultimately Mary Magdalene isn't much less of a mystery than she was at the start of the journey.

Mary Magdalene presents a feminist defense of Mary and more shading to Jesus's other apostles, but its particular method of world-building does little in terms of impact.

It's a well-meaning, good-looking effort - but those elements don't necessarily make for good watching. One needs to be in the mood for this sort of thing.

There's exactly one image in the film that reflects a modicum of directorial imagination...

Apr 12, 2020Mary Magdalene is feminist reinterpretation of the Gospel story through the eyes of Mary Magdalene. Rebelling against her family, a young woman from Magdala becomes a follower of a revolutionary rabbi named Jesus and forms a unique bond with him. Starring Rooney Mara, Joaquin Phoenix, and Chiwetel Ejiofor, the film has a strong cast that gives some impressive performances (especially Mara). Drawing from the 2016 Apostle of Apostles Vatican decree, Mary is depicted as a 13th apostle who sees Jesus' vision clearer than the others. And, there are clear Gnostic influences in how Jesus' teachings are interpreted. Still, the storytelling is remarkably well-done, as are the sets and costumes. It's not the traditional Gospel telling and is a little theologically suspect, yet Mary Magdalene is a compelling character drama that presents an interesting vision of this immortal tale.Dann M Super Reviewer

Sep 13, 2018For a film about Mary Magdalene, there is sadly too much here about Jesus Christ and "God's design" and not enough about herself, as she becomes little more than a passive spectator in a story that poorly tries to depict life as a woman in such a strongly patriarchal society.Carlos M Super Reviewer
