Finding Mary March

About This Movie

Finding Mary March is an intriguing exploration of identity and heritage, set against the backdrop of Central Newfoundland’s hauntingly beautiful landscapes. The film captures the essence of the Indigenous Beothuk people through the eyes of a young girl, Bernadette, who feels a connection to the historical figure Mary March. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of the narrative and the historical significance. Performances, particularly that of the lead, are sincere and grounded, evoking a sense of both personal and collective loss. The atmosphere is tinged with melancholy, and the practical effects, while understated, effectively highlight the film's themes of memory and legacy. It’s a piece that invites reflection and perhaps a deeper understanding of a culture that faced tragic erasure.
