The woman they don't like to talk about


Mary Magdalene (2018)

Directed by Garth Davis this biblical drama stars Rooney Mara, Joaquin Pheonix and Chiwetel Ejiofor. In 33AD a woman decides to follow Jesus against her family's wishes.

Taking it's cue from gnosticism and feminism this is a rather slow moving religious film. While there is some fantastic scenery and settings used ultimately that is really the only impressive part of the film. I am not sure that the film really has much to wow or entertain the casual viewer with.

3/5
