Right before COVID, Hollywood was releasing between 600 and 800 movies every year. Many of these are rated PG-13, and while action movies can be a great deal of fun, sometimes that deeper introspective or inspirational edge is missing from today’s entertainment.

Mary is a cinematic retelling of the life of the mother of Jesus. Viewers can follow Mary from childhood to the birth of Jesus. With this film, Director D.J.
