Review of Maria Full of Grace (2004) by Cory G — 25 Jun 2009
It's difficult to not get caught up in Maria's ill-fated journey as a drug mule from Colombia to New York. The tension all feels real and human, as opposed to the cheapness of some films, and the film seems to neither condone nor damn Maria's decision to earn "easy" money, nor does it entirely explain her choice to ultimately stay in America (although we can assume).
Maria is something of a mystery, guarded and secretive, and rather than slowly unraveling her psyche throughout the movie, by the end of the movie she remains a mystery.
