The major American subscription streaming network Netflix has released a nearly 90-minute movie on the life of the Blessed Virgin. "Mary" is from Catholic director DJ Caruso. It stars Anthony Hopkins as King Herod and Israeli actress Noa Cohen as Mary. Scriptwriters consulted Christian, Jewish and Muslim leaders to make the movie as accurate as possible. A recent story in the National Catholic Register says the movie has every intention of being "reverential". But does it succeed? Staff writer with the National Catholic Register and former teacher of film at a Catholic high school in Connecticut, Joseph Pronechen, joins to share what he was expecting when he heard Netflix was making a movie about the Blessed Virgin Mary and whether he knows about director DJ Caruso. Pronechen discusses what he found reverential about the Blessed Virgin. His article says the movie takes "troubling liberties" with Catholic doctrine. Pronechen tells us more about this. He fills us in on whether he would recommend this movie or not.
