This TV movie doesn't venture far from biblical accounts to dramatize the life of the Virgin Mary. It gets off to a promising start by showing Mary to be a resourceful and brave teenager, as she stands up to Roman soldiers who come thundering on horseback into her village. The production then proceeds chronologically, and the major events of Mary's life, and the life of Jesus, are played out in dramatic fashion. Mary is portrayed as having to face a series of struggles and tests of faith, from the time when she is terrified to meet the messenger of God who foretells the birth of the Messiah to her witnessing the brutal scene of her son's crucifixion. As the movie deals with material that will, of course, be familiar to most viewers, an unavoidable problem is that there are few surprises, and while the script does attempt to fill in some nuances of Mary's life, at times the dramatic portrayals can't help but seem forced. Mary, Mother of Jesus was obviously a labor of love by the executive producers, Eunice Kennedy Shriver and her son Bobby Shriver, and while it may not always succeed dramatically, the story is told coherently and some viewers will find it an inspirational paean to a revered religious figure. --Robert J. McNamara

A Mothers Heart October 22, 2009
Stormynite (Texas)
I've seen numerous movies about the Life of Jesus but I haven't seen any movie that shows Jesus and his Mother in such intense moments about the love that was seen in the video between a Mother and her Son.I've watched it so far 3 times. I bought an extra video to offer to those that may want to watch it also. Its a must see movie but I have to tell you to keep the kleenexs near by.If this movie doesn't touch your Heart then you'll have to ask yourself if you know what real Love is. This is my Review and my opinion.May this Video Bless you and touch your soul.
Mary, Mother of Jesus October 19, 2009
Giavani Funicellio (sacramento,ca)
Here is a good movie about Our Dear Mother and her struggles and hardships that was endured for the cause, of God's promise, the struggle and resistance that was resolved by a messiah. Her sufferings as a mother and the journey that she took for her God. Nice job
Great movie about Mary and Jesus realtionship April 10, 2009
Rika (California,USA)
I love this movie. Both actors for Mary( one plays Mary at Jesus birth and the other( Pernilla August, plays the mother in Starwars)plays Jesus after he is 12 years old, are doing a great job. Mary is portait as a strong gentle woman full of faith. Even that I'm not catholic I still love this movie(except one scene after John the Baptist is killed they show his body w/o his head. They really could have left that one out.) It also shows Marys close and good realtionship w/ Jesus( Christian Bale, who also plays in Little Women) He is portrait as a powerful, but loving gentle man who smiles often( not like in some other Jesus movies where Jesus never smiles)

I liked the movie, however, I like another "Mary" movie better. Still this is a good movie.
