Review of Maria Full of Grace (2004) by Bill C — 24 May 2013
Catalina Sandino Moreno was nominated for an Academy Award in this, her stunning debut film performance. Indeed, we cannot take our eyes off any of these radiant and textured Columbian women.
A layered story of the poverty driven Colombian cocaine trade spins out of control, then gracefully evolves into a powerful fable of the driving generational force of motherhood.
Writer / Director Joshua Marston has quietly cobbled together a small miracle.
