Title: Appeared Less than Veritable...
Review: I was excited to watch the movie and unfortunately made the mistake of not pre-screening the film prior to sitting down for a family viewing. We were not able to finish the movie. The portrayal of Anne, Joachim, and the Mother of God were certainly less than flattering and based on my recollection of the film perhaps heretical based on what could arguably be construed as sin on the part of the Mother of God. I found it telling that while Elizabeth's greeting is captured, the actress portraying Mary fails to respond with the magnificat, found in Luke 1:46-55. This was around the time we decided to press with a different film for "family movie night." Based on the portrayal of Mary to that point, the magnificat would have been out of place, which as pointed out, was telling...
Is the review positive or negative?
