8/10
Likeable Movie that Illustrates the Determination of Maria

Warning: Spoilers
I liked this movie as it shows row a woman has to persist at what she wants in a world dominated by control freak chauvinist men. Start with a pedophile first husband who looked to be in his 30's while stalking a teenager who was out of her league at that point in her life when it came to good judgement.

This movie also shows her strength when her childhood friend Mike came back into her life when she moved to New York city and traveled down the same controlling road of her first husband to which she had the scene in the club where she met the producer and Mike forcefully grabbed her arm and slapped her.

No doubt there will be negative reviews from certain segments of society who get offended when faced with the reality of misogyny and a woman strong enough to fight back.

Even her second husband who she was a out to divorce prior to her untimely death possessed the same old world controlling instincts which I see is quite dominate in foreign and domestic films where women are treated as possessions owned by the father until he passes ownership to the husband.
