Let me start by saying I agree this movie has some inaccuracies. But I think it was more an attempt at some theatrical liberties. And the only part of the film I would say they do that, would be towards the end of the film. As to the other reviews I have read where people are complaining about this movie not delving more into the life of Jesus and that they recommend Jesus of Nazareth instead; all I have to say to that is READ THE TITLE!!!!! This movie is not about Jesus! It is not called Jesus and Mary. It is called Mary, Mother of Jesus. And that is exactly what it's about! MARY!! If you want to see a movie about the life of Jesus, then yes, I highly recommend you see Jesus Of Nazareth instead. But I think this is the first movie that comes close to saying what the Mother of Jesus must have been like. It is not perfect, but it is pretty darn close. I am a Catholic, and very devout of our Blessed Mother, and I feel this movie does a good job. Could it have been better? Sure, it could have. Should it have been longer? Definitely! I feel this should have been a miniseries. But with what they had to work with, I think they did very well.
