Otherwise known as The Jesus-and-Mary Madgelene Movie They Could Not Open Domestically For The Longest Time. The movie that was sucked into a Harvey Weinstein distribution calamity hole. The movie that missed its time, and which nobody wants to see. The movie in which Joaquin Pheonix plays a moody, muttering, slightly paunchy, 44-year-old, partially gray-haired Nazarene. (Forget the belief about our savior dying on the cross at the relatively young age of 33.) The Garth Davis movie that opened in the U.K.and Australia a year ago, and wasn’t reviewed with a great deal of enthusiasm. It’ll open on 4.12.19 via Focus Features and IFC Films.
