Mar 30th (Good Friday)     
Mary Magdalene** (12A) 
(Empire Ipswich)

(GB/Australia 2018)

Independent minded Mary of Magdala defies her family's wishes after being introduced to a mysterious healer to whom she becomes one of his strongest followers.
Beautifully watered-down Holy Land drama, carefully scripted to depict a believable setting for its time, although ironically becoming rather sluggish during what should be the most dramatic moments from Biblical history.
