      Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Jamie Russell BBC.com Rated: 2/5 Feb 3, 2004 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter A luridly baroque tale of violent revenge, this Brazilian-Italian entry relies heavily on atmospheric visuals to compensate for its lack of depth in both plotting and characterizations. Jun 5, 2003 Full Review Prairie Miller WBAI Web Radio The good news is that for a change the females, however malevolent, get to use their brains rather than their bodies as problem solving implements. May 15, 2007 Full Review James Kendrick Q Network Film Desk Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 1, 2003 Full Review Maria Garcia Film Journal International A solid 'B' movie with no meaningful dialogue, a creaky plotline and wildly evocative characters, but its crude charm is unmistakable.

      Audience Member A Brazilian revenge tale. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review walter m [font=Century Gothic]In the Brazilian film, "The Three Marias", the husband and two sons of Filomena(Marieta Severo) have just been brutally murdered. She gathers her three grown daughters, Maria Francisca(Julia Lemmertz), Maria Rosa(Maria Luisa Mendonca) and Maria Pia(Luiza Mariani), and instructs them to employ three hitmen to kill the murderers and bring their heads to her.[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]"The Three Marias" is an odd, beguiling and violent revenge flick with an interesting structure. The film uses religious symbolism to comment on misogyny in the Church, thus lending a definite feminist edge to the whole project, especially with the strong female characters.[/font] Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
