“Mary” on Netflix brings a bold and faith-filled retelling of the Nativity story, offering a fresh perspective on Mary and Joseph’s journey through courage and faith.


Netflix’s latest release, Mary, offers a riveting retelling of one of history’s most iconic and sacred narratives. Directed by DJ Caruso (Redeeming Love, I Am Number Four) and executive produced by Pastor Joel Osteen, this coming-of-age biblical epic reimagines the journey of Mary, mother of Jesus, from a perspective that’s both fresh and reverent.

A Bold Retelling of Mary’s Story


Through the eyes of Mary, portrayed by Noa Cohen, the film explores the extraordinary events surrounding the miraculous conception and the birth of Jesus. Mary sheds light on the challenges she faced as a young woman chosen for a divine mission. The story delves into her isolation, courage, and steadfast faith amidst persecution, highlighting a side of Mary rarely depicted in traditional narratives.

House of David: 5 Takeaways for Believers Reflecting on David’s Life

‘House of David’ Surges to #2 on Prime Video as Episode 4 Drops This Thursday

When King Herod, played masterfully by Anthony Hopkins, orders the mass killing of infant boys in a desperate attempt to eliminate the prophesied Messiah, Mary and Joseph (Ido Tako) flee Bethlehem. Their perilous journey is both an exciting and suspenseful journey with creative liberties added that give the viewer a must-see, front-row seat into the drama around Christ’s birth, a testament to their unwavering trust in God and determination to protect the Savior of the world.

A Visionary Collaboration


Director DJ Caruso brings his signature flair for gripping storytelling to this biblical drama, blending stunning visuals with a deeply emotional narrative. Joel Osteen’s involvement as executive producer ensures the film maintains a strong faith-centered message while reaching a broader audience. Together, they have crafted a movie that bridges cinematic excellence with spiritual depth.

A New Lens on a Familiar Tale


Critics have praised Mary for offering a fresh perspective on an age-old story while remaining faithful to its central message. The film covers Mary’s story, her parent’s prayers and dedication and faithful upbringing, something added to the Biblical narrative in an attempt to give context to the incredible journey of Mary.

The movie invites viewers to experience the Nativity story in a way that feels personal and immediate. It delves into Mary’s emotional journey, the societal rejection she endured, and the intense pressure of her role in God’s plan.

Why Mary Matters


In a culture often starved for meaningful and faith-based content, Mary stands out as a significant offering. It not only recounts the miraculous birth of Jesus but also explores themes of courage, obedience, and faith in the face of adversity. For families and believers, this movie provides an opportunity to reflect on the humanity of Mary and the divine significance of her calling.

Whether you’re a lifelong Christian or new to the faith, Mary is a film that promises to inspire, challenge, and deepen your understanding of the greatest story ever told.

Mary is now streaming on Netflix.
