The Three Marias Ratings & Reviews
WBAI Web Radio
Prairie Miller
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.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
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.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Abranches intends for a religious parable by way of Greek tragedy, but the film drowns in a morass of portentous signs and poetic symbols.
Newark Star-Ledger
Bob Campbell
At times, the filmmaker seems unsure of his mission. He should have had Filomena for his producer.
Film Journal International
Maria Garcia
A solid 'B' movie with no meaningful dialogue, a creaky plotline and wildly evocative characters, but its crude charm is unmistakable.

Sean O'Connell
Marias is all about build-up, with very little payoff.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Its emotional climate is too extreme to invite identification, and its characters are too single-minded in their revenge to evoke pity, terror or even much interest.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
The intent was apparently a Sergio Leone-ish black comedy, but the leaden pacing, somnambulant performances and incessant symbolism in nearly every shot will soon have you thinking that The Three Marias is three too many.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
The film has all the pregnant pauses, exaggerated reaction shots and melodramatic scoring of an overripe telenovela, but, unlike a good soap opera, the sisters' separate story lines are clumsily balanced.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
This strikingly unusual movie is at once an old-fashioned melodrama, a boldly stylized spectacle, and a very grim fairy tale, acted and directed with originality and flair.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
Those who long for the termite glory of 1950s B westerns might find something to like about this tightly wound, borderline absurd oddity.
Village Voice
Leslie Camhi
[Abranches is] so focused on creating a strikingly mannerist visual style that he forgets to flesh out his plot and characters.
Film Threat
Eric Campos
Like a schoolyard bully who's all talk and no bite, this Brazilian thriller blows a heck of a lot of hot air, but really doesn't deliver on the ***-kickings it so threatens.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Donald J. Levit
A sign of good things to come from Brazilian filmmakers.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The Three Marias is thoroughly 'an eye for an eye' biblical revenge drama.
