MARIA is a profoundly human drama centered on a young woman determined to break free from the confines of her past and define her own future. Set against the backdrop of a tight-knit coastal community, the story follows Maria’s quiet struggles as she confronts family expectations, cultural traditions, and the lingering ghosts of old wounds. When unforeseen circumstances force her to step beyond familiar shores, she must find the courage to craft an identity on her own terms. With intimate performances, evocative cinematography, and a hauntingly beautiful score, MARIA is a meditation on resilience, belonging, and the quiet strength that emerges when one dares to seek a path less traveled.
“Jolie is sometimes hard to cast, because she looks like an entity that doesn’t quite belong in normal life. But here that quality becomes an asset.”
- Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
“Maria eschews the bizarre and ugly in favor of a more human story. Just as in a good Puccini, heart prevails over intellect.” - Johnny Oleksinski, New York Post
“A perceptive performer who can sometimes be a tad cold-to-the-touch, Jolie gives her career-best performance.”
- Tomris Laffly, RogerEbert.com
