Netflix’s Mary (2024) tells a dramatized story about the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus. It combines both biblical and non-biblical elements, exploring her struggles and challenges. The film imagines intense scenes, such as Mary nearly being stoned and facing violent attacks, which aren’t mentioned in the Bible but are added for dramatic effect
While the movie has strong performances, especially from Noa Cohen as Mary, its violent moments and some fictional scenes may be too much for younger audiences. Some viewers appreciate the film’s emotional depth, while others find it a bit too far from the original biblical story.

Overall, Mary is seen as a visually rich but somewhat controversial retelling, which may appeal to those interested in exploring speculative interpretations of the Nativity story, but less so for viewers seeking a more faithful biblical account.
