Sleep Tight, Maria

About This Movie

Sleep Tight, Maria is this curious exploration of adolescent anxiety and self-discovery, wrapped in the peculiarity of Maria's life. The tone is a mix of awkward humor and subtle drama, capturing the challenges of growing up in a strict Catholic setting. It delves into themes of sexuality and guilt, with Maria's nightly rituals serving as both comfort and conflict. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments of introspection to breathe, which contrasts sharply with the chaos of her surroundings at the church camp. The performances are raw, particularly from the lead, who embodies Maria's insecurities and quirks so well. It's not your typical coming-of-age film—there's a real edge to it that you don't see often.

The film's exploration of youth sexuality is quite bold. · Unique take on Catholic upbringing. · Notable for its offbeat humor and emotional depth.
