I went and saw it with my very Christian husband last weekend and both of us were crying.
It was graphic, it was a difficult thing to watch, but it was also exactly what it was supposed be: one man's vision of an event.
Most Fundies are seriously pissed that he drew so much from Anne Emmerich's writings. Mel didn't try to say he didn't. Anything not directly from the bible was directly from Emmerich's writings. Mel is unabashedly Catholic, and so is the movie. IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR. For me, I don't know anything about the "stations of the cross" so I didn't recognize it when I saw it.
Just like any other movie, it's all in what you're looking for.
