...which celebrates Mary's faith and wisdom. While the teleplay admittedly takes dramatic license, it is true to the Gospels. The dialogue is refreshingly unstilted, and the spare, understated performances of newcomer Melinda Kinnaman as the young Mary, Pernilla August (The Phantom Menace) as the mature Mary, and Christian Bale (Velvet Goldmine) as Jesus are credible and moving. One cranky question: Why do American filmmakers always insist that biblical figures spoke with British accents...

While the film has many things in its favor, such as wonderfully unaffected acting and a skillfully adapted script...

We also have to be a little scared, because in all three time periods, Christian Bale is a completely convincing actor--this despair could very well visit...
