The uprising actress, Catalina Sandino Moreno, plays the role of Maria in 2004's "Maria Full of Grace". This movie takes place in Columbia where the young woman is working to support her poor family and expecting baby. Money was hard to come by until she was offered a chance to become a mule, someone who is paid greatly to transport packets of cocaine to New York. Maria faces several challenges and tough decisions along her journey to a new life. This Spanish drama and thriller did not dissatisfy me nor Ebert. He explained it as...
"...an extraordinary experience for any reasons including, oddly, its willingness to be ordinary. We see everyday life here, plausible motives, convincing decisions, and characters who live at ground level."
