Mary, Noa Cohen, yes that Mary is given the girl boss treatment.
So turns out the Angel Garbriel also came to prophesied the birth of Mary as well, turns out Jesus wasn’t so special after all, and that Mary was probably more important than Jesus because of her female power to birth him. I am woman hear me roar, who cares if Jesus died for our sins and was the Son of God, if you believe in that, he was a male and therefore no longer worth being considered special. His privilege has been checked.
There was just no need for this film, I don’t know who it was for? Religious folks are going to hate it as it is the most bastardised version of the Nativity story I have seen recently, the anti-western, anti-Semitic, pro-Palestine/ pro-Hamas folks don’t like it, as they cast an Israeli in the lead role. General audiences don’t care about a long drawn out biblical epic, look at Exodus. It seems to be more of Netflix looking for a reason to burn money.
Overall, if you want festive religious viewing you would be better served watching almost anything else. This is a bible epic designed to make everyone angry.
0.5/5

Cons.
The girl boss stuff
They feel the need to update a story rather than just do something new and fresh
No one will like it
It is too long
It is poorly acted
