Film - Perfect 5.0
Beautifully shot on location in Moracco. With Scorsese behind the camera, there is a lot of amazing cinematography to behold. Even 20 years after being made, the film does not look dated.

Edge - Sordid 3.3
The film’s controversy comes from it’s portrayal of Jesus having sex with Mary Magdalene, though not explicit, there is still a moderate amount of nudity at various points. Crucifiction and torture is shown at several points in fairly graphic details. Nothing as graphic as “The Passion of the Christ” but comparable.
