    Great playing but I miss something
    I really enjoyed the actors playing, however I think the movie could have spend more time on most of the interesting subjects it only "listed". During all the movie, I really enjoyed it, but when it finished I thought "That's all ?" and found that it was in fact quite empty. Nothing about what was the life for women at the time of Jesus, about interesting ideas which leaded Mary to drop her career, ...

    I really think this movie would have been really great with 30 more minutes and more stuff to make us think about the ideas it "lists".

    However I think it's beautiful and interesting enough, so you should go and see it :)
