But, political correctness absolutely ruins it. I gave it 2 stars for the entertainment factor. Otherwise, it could very well be intended to deliver an anti-Christian message of which I strongly disapprove.

Just listen to the words of Jesus in this movie : "How does it feel to carry that hate in your heart? Does it lessen as the months go by? It seeps into your days and nights until it consumes everything you ones were... But you MUST FORGIVE, there is no other way to enter the Kingdom of God ". Perfect cast, talented script writers, I love this film. And I forgive Garth Davis for not making this movie perfect.

I am very touched as a Muslim. Very close to the profile of Prophet Muhammad. And salute to the clean Mary Magdalene.

I do not believe in the bible or organized religion. I watched this movie because I love period movies and Joaquin Phoenix. It was so subtle. It did not beat you over the head with blood and pain like Passion of the Christ did. It showed Jesus conflicted, sad, angry, and scared. He somberly walked to his final days. He accepted a woman despite protests. Though the dialogue was sparse, I felt it more profoundly than any church sermon I have ever sat through. I was moved to sobs several times, especially in today's political climate. The acting was perfect, the scenery breath taking and it was beautifully quiet movie, definitely worth the watch.
