2004, 97 minutes, Rated M
Less a film about the drug trade than an intimate portrait of a woman ensnared in it, Maria Full of Grace is this year's surprise breakout hit. Academy Award nominee Catalina Sandino Moreno turns in a captivating and compelling performance as Maria, a likable, spirited and fearless Colombian girl. To bring money to her family and escape a stifling existence in her Columbian town, she risks becoming a mule for a drug ring. It's a harrowing, life-changing and life-threatening journey and a frightful experience for small-town Maria.
The film sweeps us along on a tense and unpredictable journey with a heroine who is gutsy, rebellious and brilliantly alive. Maria Full of Grace is not a true story, but a story that happens everyday.
