Review of Maria Full of Grace (2004) by Shaun M — 19 Jul 2009
A grim but rewarding drama that depicts Columbia's abject poverty and the resulting drug trafficking trade, but never loses sight of the human element thanks to Catalina Sandino Moreno's Oscar-nominated performance.
Part family drama, part drug film, part morality tale, director Joshua Marston masterfully combines painterly visuals with a sensitive, human hand.
