Format:Blu-ray
Great film about Columbian drug mules with a breakout performance by Catalina Moreno. The film is intense, tragic and thaught provoking all at the same. The director does a terrific job of humanizing the characters and showing their hoplessness and despair. Definitely one of the best independant films I've seen in recent years.
I imported the Blu from the UK which looks and sounds great since it's not available in North American for some strange reason. There's also a very good and insightful commentary from the writer/director
Highly Recommended!!

Format:DVD
I've watched this film in its entirety and parts of it about 6 tmes and it never gets old. There are new layers in it every time I watch it. If you are interested in the cocain drug trade, or young people in Andean countries this is worth both time and money. This example is supposed to be from Colombia, but the topic was too touchy to film there so it was allegedly filmed in neighbouring Ecuador. Up and coming Colombian actress Catalino Sandino does a fine job and the scenes from Jackson Heights are authentic.

MARIA FULL OF GRACE is a film that gives real insight to the current drug problem.
Maria is having trouble with finances trying to support her family. She is offered an easy job: be a drug mule and take drugs from Colombia to New York.
She soon finds out that although she is well-paid, her job is extremely difficult. She is forced to swallow pellets full of drugs to escape detection. Catalina Sandino Moreno is just magnificent in the main role.
I have loved this film since it played in the US, but it is not available here in Blu-ray. The transfer of this title is better than the previous DVD. Buy it!

Excellent movie!
This movie portrays what actually occurs throughout the drug trafficking world. I believe that this movie seems exaggerated to those unfamiliar with this pressing issue; however,... Read more

Possibly the worst ever Blu Ray transfer of a great movie.
Don't get me wrong this is a great movie and it's probably worth having it on Blu Ray rather than DVD. Read more
