The lead star ofNetflix’sMarysupports the film’s changes to this well-known Bible story.
But since the film’s December 6 debut, audiences havebeen questioningMary’s Biblical accuracyand its creative choices.
It’s giving her her voice back.
She’s not just a vessel for something greater than herself.
It’s her story.
It’s being told from her perspective.
This is why I really wanted to take this role.
This is why I really wanted to do it."
Directed by DJ Caruso, Netflix’sMarybegins before her Biblical introduction and the story of the Nativity.
Obviously, I felt incredibly humbled but also it is a tremendous responsibility.
Is Netflix’s Mary More Human and Relatable?
WhereMaryachieves its goal of making the Virgin Mary accessible is through Noa Cohen’s performance.
She’s not an ordinary person with normal challenges or even a normal life.
But in the film, Mary never responds this way to Gabriel.
That would’ve been enough drama without the need for additional and fictional action sequences.
Maryis streaming now on Netflix.
