It lacked the spiritual, biblical depth and truth that the real story carries. But don't all the movies about Jesus do the same? However, the acting was great and seeing it from a feminine perspective was interesting. It would have been a better redemption story if it touched on her prostitution and the struggles of living a pure life in contrast to the old. The problem with these biblical movies is that they don't want to offend anybody, and so they take away the radical beauty of Jesus and his divinity.
