Mary Magdalene

Released 16 MARCH

nless explicitly targeted at the religious audiences who have turned the faith-driven series into a profitable franchise, films about biblical figures typically have to rely on more than just their storyline to seduce secular audiences. Sure enough, as suggested promises to give a voice to a character from the life of Jesus who is often ignored in favour of more famous male apostles and Christ himself. After all, Mary Magdalene was the first person to see Christ resurrected, and thus might deserve a film of her own.
