Leslie Felperin The Hollywood Reporter That tension between old and new, good and bad is pleasingly kept taut throughout by Bergroth's confident direction, and twanged with precision by a fine cast... Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Pat Padua The DC Line "...compelling for much of its two-hour run time, until it succumbs to a messy final act that makes it fail as drama as well." Nov 28, 2019 Full Review Jared Mobarak The Film Stage [The film] ensures the seeds of doubt are sowed gradually so they can be dismissed in the moment and yet cemented into the recesses of Salome's mind. Rated: B Sep 11, 2019 Full Review Norman Wilner NOW Toronto Bergroth makes the miscalculation of expanding Maria's Paradise beyond Salome's credulous perspective and depriving us of the chance to experience her inevitable disillusionment alongside her. Rated: 2/5 Sep 9, 2019 Full Review Anna Swanson Cinema Scope Unfortunately, Maria's Paradise is often both distracted and distracting, never committed enough to its central character study and possessing an anachronistic electronic score that wears out its welcome. Sep 7, 2019 Full Review Allan Hunter Screen International An intriguing, well-heeled period drama... Sep 6, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
