I am very curious about this movie.
I have heard conflicting things about it. Some say it is very Catholic. Others say that it is anti-Catholic. I don't know, but I found the trailer to be very interesting.
Interestingly, it seems to tone down the religious aspects of the story. The angel says "All things are possible..." But leaves out the end of the quote where he says, "...for God." Even the reference at the end to how "Love will save the world," seems a little bit of a secularization of the story.
However, I am open to this being story being an avenue to meet the Netflix audience where they are. Perhaps this is targeted at those who would normally not consume something so directly religious. When I would work this one retreat program, the first witness would specifically never mention God. The purpose as to ease people into the religious elements of the retreat. Perhaps that is what is going on here.
Regardless, I thought the trailer was well made, with good production value. I look forward to how it intends to explore Joseph's love for Mary and her holy virtue.
Thoughts?
