I though the story was a breath of freshness because we see Jesus through the eyes of a healed woman. This movie was well directed and the actors were good. To see on screen the healing of Magdalena was wonderful. You will go along with Magdalena as she tells her story and how Jesus was a deliverer to her and others.

Christ through the eyes of a woman who really knew Him.
We rarely are presented with the real Christ who loved women and lifted them up in the face of 'Pharisee-ism' that dwelt on keeping women in their place.
Jesus never told women to be in subjection to anyone, even to Himself...yet God will put all things in subjection under Christ, for He alone is able to handle the power with a heart of Love.
Although this film doesn't teach this, we can see Jesus' heart through this film, a heart that men would be wise to emulate. Unfortunately many of today's Christian men prefer the 'image' of Paul they have 'created' that keeps women in 'their place'...something Paul's actual record never did. Like Jesus, women were his 'fellow labourers' and "yokefellows'.

What a movie!! This movie can be a great resource for Women's Bible studies or groups. The price is right and it just touched my heart that Jesus loves us--including women.

Relates the Gospel story to women in a way that women will be open to receive. It does a excellent retelling of the Jesus Film to include the many encounters Christ had with the women of that day and the love and respect Jesus showed these women.

The Jesus film has always been recognised as producing the best rendering of the Bible. It’s so true to life that you will feel like you are in first century Palestine.
MAGDALENA THROUGH HER EYES is cleverly used in presenting the Jesus story in the eyes of women. If the message was portrayed by another women other than Mary Magdalene, then the result wouldn’t be as dramatic as she was one of the “worst sinners.” Jesus selected a lady who was shuned so that He could portray His deep love and forgiveness to anybody.
It was refreshing to be able to see the MAGDALENA movie come alive and make it feel more personal. Women in the past and today need to know they can be released from shame and be given the freedom to follow God. The message of hope and value by Jesus touching many women in the Bible is what we need today!
With Easter on the horizon, I think this movie would be great to see for your Easter movie viewing. I must also say that this movie is not made for young children because of the content and length. An Easter Veggie Tale movie would be more appealing for the younger audience.
I recommend the movie Magdalena: Through Her Eyes

This is a good movie but, if you own the Jesus movie staring Brian Deacon as Jesus then you pretty much have this movie. They use most of that movie as clips in this one and just kind of added parts about mary magdelenes life around that.

This is an awesome movie. Top Notch. It is not about Mary as much as it is about the life of Jesus Christ. This is one to share with all your friends.
