Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

By Matthew Bond (673) for The Mail on Sunday (UK) (704) on 19 Mar 2018

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 18 Mar 2018

Oddly bloodless, but thought-provoking in a discussion group kind of way, it’s less successful as a film than as an exercise, but at least…

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

By Simran Hans (401) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 18 Mar 2018

A tasteful RE lesson that rushes to paint Mary's inner strength and moral goodness, but forgets to shade in the contours of her characterisation…

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

By Sam W (829) on 18 Mar 2018

A down to earth presentation of the story of the last days of Jesus Christ, but with more focus on Mary Magdalene and her role…

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

By David Stratton (799) for The Australian (781) on 16 Mar 2018

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

By Maryann Johanson (2,701) for Flick Filosopher (2,694) on 16 Mar 2018

A fiercely feminist and proudly revisionist historical drama that offers a powerful and much-needed rebuke to modern Christianity…

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

By Matthew Norman (64) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 16 Mar 2018

Davis (best known for 2016's Lion) has pulled off the miracle of turning The Greatest Story Ever Told into One of the Dullest Stories Ever Screened…

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

By Harry Guerin (318) for RTÉ (Ireland) (721) on 15 Mar 2018

With the story told more through the eyes than the dialogue; barren-yet-beautiful locations and the late Jóhann Jóhannsson's score, there's…

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

By Geoffrey Macnab (1,253) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 14 Mar 2018

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

Although a rather elegant and serene interpretation of an eternal story, this film has little new or interesting to offer either to believers…

Review of Mary Magdalene (2018)

By Dan Jolin (289) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 12 Mar 2018
