Mary Magdalene

One of the most transformative yet misunderstood women in history, Mary Magdalene has been alternately vilified as a sinner and canonized as a saint. Here we meet the free-spirited soul (Rooney Mara) who fled an arranged marriage and found purpose with the charismatic, rabble-rousing preacher Jesus (Joaquin Phoenix). Boldly challenging received wisdom, Mary Magdalene is a rapturous, moving account of a miraculous woman whose courageous faith put her at the center of an earth-shaking historical moment.
