Trust. That's the first thought in my mind when I think about Catalina Sandino Moreno. There is this sense of calm and reassurance when you look at her face. The "immigrant story" has been such a successful approach in storytelling, but here I like how it takes on an uncommon face, what I would describe as accidental or incidental. Maria never really makes this firm determination to come to America as an absolute goal in her life. For her, it just happened to be part of the job being a "mule" from Colombia. Even the notion of staying for the sake of her unborn child came as a discovery from her friend's sister. I've really grown fond of her and was equally impressed by her performance in Fast Food Nation (and soon....The Hotest State....currently in my queue).
