Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Beautiful, moving film.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Add this movie to the list of inaccurate tellings of the life of Jesus. The life of Jesus is so interesting and faith building. No need to fabricate. Shame on you.
I'm only submitting this review to make the point that bothered me throughout the entire film. Jesus was 33yrs old at the time of his death, Joaquin Phoenix is ten years older so while I really admire him as an actor, he's totally miscast. He just comes across as a pseudo prophet here & I certainly didn't get a Christlike vibe from him at all. Jesus had an aura & a charisma & that's why people followed him. Joaquin is just too melancholy. He might have been better cast as John the Baptist. Rooney Mara was quite impressive as Mary Magdalene & she carried the whole film. Overall, a disappointing film & not as impactful as 'The Passion Of The Christ'.
Joaquin Phoenix acts perfectly, you believe and understand everything he is saying.He is Jesus in the movie and you have no problem accepting it . Rooney Mara is a very talented actress, and she is brilliant as Mary Magdalene. She didn't talk much in the movie, but her eyes conveyed so much love and compassion. Tahar Rahim is the best Judas ever! In this film you can actually understand why Judas did that thing to Jesus, and you feel like forgiving him. I love this movie, but I think it should be much more in it to make it perfect.
I am very touched as a Muslim. Very close to the profile of Prophet Muhammad. And salute to the clean Mary Magdalene.
