Mary has been one of the most debated and beloved individuals God has ever worked through.
In this beautiful work, Mary, the Mother of Christ, nears death as the early Church develops. Peter, while able to proclaim the Gospel loudly and triumphantly among Jews has begun to feel the pressure of leadership as the Church grows beyond the Jewish culture. In the midst of incredibly important decisions, and feeling unqualified, Peter seeks the counsel of Mary as she nears reunion with her Son.
This beautiful and eye opening film offers a unique perspective into Mary's role of Mother within the early Church. Practically every like of this film makes me want to grab a notebook and write word for word quotations. Additionally, special care was taken to ensure an ethnically diverse cast was taken. Moreover, the film is professional and well made unlike many other Christian movies. It's moderate pace encourages a meditative look at Christ's life and the founding of His Church from Mary's perception.
The subtle Catholic undertones through Eucharist, anointing of the sick, and other means take the film to the next level and made me fall in love with it. Even non Catholics would love this movie.
Despite the 1 star reviews from Protestant objectors, this movie does not elevate Mary to divine levels, it merely illustrates her unique and beautiful role within the Early Church. Anyone who likes the Rosary may reflect that this film is like a walking meditative Rosary.
Overall 10/10 loved it and highly recommend it!

Some of the 1 starred reviews here are either by atheists or Protestants who have a gut-level revulsion at the name of Mary, which seems pretty insulting to Jesus if you ask me. Their ridiculously low rating does not reflect the caliber of this film, and was just intended to drag down the average rating. While I was tempted to give this a 10 star rating to counteract their biased ratings, I'm more honest then they are. It's not a perfect film. While the film takes a leisurely, artistically filmed approach, which I mostly found very meditative and wonderful, parts of are extremely slow, and I suspect were timed to just match the musical accompaniment. The film is beautifully acted by Bahia Haifi and Noam Jenkins. They really do convey "the peace of God which surpasses all understanding". Few films ever ponder what the experience of Mary was actually like. However, I did wonder at a few aspects. Shouldn't Mary have been living with John? I wished the portrayal of Communion at the end included more of Jesus' words from the Gospels.
the grace. it is its basic virtue who seems be the seed for a touching and profound story. the delicacy of images and dialogs. like pillars of a wise manner to present a special story about first steps of the Church. Bahia Haifi . She does a great job in a role who is always a serious challenge. the flash backs. who are frame and support for the memories of the viewer about the levels of Christian faith. the slow rhythm . who defines it more than another religious film. because it is more. it is point of reflection about manner to use your Christian roots. beautiful. and full of a rare spirit of poetry of life. a film for believers. because it not propose a subject. but a oasis to rediscover yourself for a Christian.
This film is visually stunning, with a beautiful soundtrack and powerful acting performances. It continues to haunt me weeks after seeing it. Somehow it manages to portray two larger-than-life historical figures, Peter and Mary, in a way that makes them very human and remarkably current. At the same time it remains true to the saintly nature both surely possessed, and provides insight into the historical struggles of the early church. The film manages to remain non-denominational, such that Christians of any background, and perhaps even spiritually oriented non-Christians, can enjoy it.
By the end of the film I had been moved to tears more than once, I felt I could relate to Mary and Peter in a way I never had before, and I felt closer to Christ, despite his not appearing in the movie at all. A true triumph of independent film making.

First, I have to say that based on so many one star reviews its almost like a 'Hit Job' is going on; they certainly could not have seen the same movie I did. Second, while I do believe in the existence of 'God' I would not say that I am very religious at all. BUT - I don't think that one's religious beliefs (or none) have anything to do with this movie.
This was THE BEST unheard of movie I have watched this year. I had never heard of it, and sitting around at Christmas time, I was surfing Netflix one night and came upon this movie. The description wasn't much, simply that an elderly Mary reflects upon her life, or something to that effect. Instead, it was an existential thought piece along the lines of 'My Dinner with Andre'. Although we know that the 'Virgin Mary' is the focus, it could have been anyone. An elderly woman reflecting on her life and the extradordinary events she has witnessed. She waxes philosophical with a hand maid, Sara, and then Peter, and finally others. Questions of LIfe ad Death, Fate, Redemption, and the Eternal Hereafter all come into play.
This is no 'religious' sales pitch, but instead a rational reflection of one's place i the cosmos when one has born witness to extraordinary things. Very well done, and has inspired me to look for other titles from the writers.
