People are criticizing the new Netflix film about Mary for its inaccuracies and offensive content.

A new movie has been released on Netflix, telling the story of Mary in a unique and fresh way. As viewers prepare for the holiday season, they can now watch the epic biblical film Mary, which follows the mother of Jesus from her childhood in Nazareth to the birth of the prophet. Noa Cohen takes on the titular role, while Ido Tako portrays her husband Joseph and Sir Anthony Hopkins plays King Herod, the relentless pursuer of the couple.

Director D.J. Caruso shared his vision for the film, wanting to present Mary in a more human and relatable form. He believes that although Mary is an extraordinary woman, her story is not well-known beyond the few passages in the Bible. However, after its release, many viewers have voiced their disappointment and criticism of the film.

The movie has been criticized for taking creative liberties and not staying true to the Bible. Some viewers have even called it offensive and disrespectful. One viewer expressed their disappointment in the lack of accuracy and advised others not to watch the film. Another shared their disappointment in how the film strays from the Biblical narrative and leaves out important dialogues.

There have also been concerns about the lack of representation of Arab and Palestinian characters, and the casting of an Israeli actress in the lead role. Senior Lecturer Meredith Warren wrote an opinion piece about the film, highlighting its perpetuation of dangerous stereotypes and misrepresentations of Jews and Judaism.

The film has faced harsh reviews, with some calling it the worst film of the year and others finding it surface-level and uninspiring. Even Catholic reviewers have noted its troubling liberties with Catholic doctrine.

In response to the criticism, Netflix stated that they consulted with religious scholars and leaders to ensure historical accuracy. They also wanted to make the story more accessible to a broader audience. Producer Mary Aloe hopes that the film will spark interest in faith and inspire people to learn more about Mary's journey and sacrifices.

Despite the backlash, the movie remains available for streaming on Netflix. The streaming service has not yet responded to requests for comment.
