When it comes to Christmas films, many people might picture fairy tales or romantic comedies, but Netflix is now taking a more literal approach with "Mary," a biblical drama centred on the birth of Jesus.

Netflix's new biblical film "Mary" is finally streaming. Dive into the action-packed ending of "Mary," including what happens to Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, and King Herod.

Despite its sincere tribute to Mary’s story, the film falters with over-the-top drama and underdeveloped characters, making it a mixed holiday offering.

Vatican City • Catholic Hollywood director D.J. Caruso (“Disturbia”) set out to tell the story of Mary as seen through her own eyes in a new film available this week on Netflix. “You may think you know my story,” Mary tells viewers at the start of the film. “Trust me, you don’t.”

Netflix viewers have condemned a new movie that tells the ‘story of the Nativity from a fresh perspective’. In the lead up to Christmas, the streaming service has released the epic biblical film Mary, which follows the mother of Jesus from her childhood in Nazareth to the birth of the prophet.

Mary’ is a drama film that revolves around the story of Mary of Nazareth, the mother of Jesus Christ. Directed by D.J. Caruso, the movie takes on a coming-of-age approach to this biblical tale, following the life of Mary from a young age.
