Our suggestions
Employed as a spy and given the task of investigating the threat posed by John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene is overwhelmed by John's powerful message of the coming of the Messiah. Gazing into John's eyes before he dies, Mary is left with the certainty that her place is at the side of this great man, Jesus Christ.
"Rooney Mara looks great as 'Mary Magdalene', unfortunately the female role gets lost in the story - which ends up giving a bigger protagonism to Jesus, played by Joaquin Phoenix, in several moments of the production. Despite this, director Garth Davis, from 'Lion: A Journey Home', did a good job on the movie."
