Maria is 14 years old. Her family is part of a fundamentalist Catholic community. Maria lives her everyday life in the modern world, yet her heart belongs to Jesus.

Full Plot Details

Maria is 14 years old. Her family is part of a fundamentalist Catholic community. Maria lives her everyday life in the modern world, yet her heart belongs to Jesus. She wants to follow Him, to become a saint and go to heaven--just like all those holy children about whom she's always been told. So Maria goes through 14 stations, just like Jesus did on his path to Golgatha, and reaches her goal in the end. Not even Christian, a boy she meets at school, can stop her, even if in another world, they might have become friends, or even more. Left behind is a broken family that finds comfort in faith and the question, "Were all these events really so inevitable?" STATIONS OF THE CROSS is an indictment and, at the same time, the legend of a saint. It's a story of religion, devotion, and radical faith, and the film itself comes along just as radical as the subject matter, telling the story in only 14 fixed-angle long shots, allowing the viewer to contemplate the onscreen interactions in an entirely different way than in a traditional film.

Movie Reviews

Variety - 9/10 by Jay WeissbergThe fixed gaze of each “station” is an appropriate choice for illustrating unbending dogma, and helmer Brueggemann always makes interesting use of the frame.
New York Times - 9/10 by Stephen HoldenAs Maria crumples before our eyes, many will find Stations of the Cross heartbreaking and infuriating. Others may laugh out loud at her mother, a walking nightmare of pious, punishing rectitude.
Anchorage Press - 9/10 by Indra ArriagaStations of the Cross is a quiet film, deep in content and profoundly critical of the Catholic Church's culture of repression that misguides young minds by limiting their senses and curtailing their experiences.
The Popcorn Junkie - 8/10 by Cameron WilliamsThe burden of Catholic guilt has been a mainstay of the religion but the experience of German fundamentalist Catholic guilt is suffocating in the superb film
Guardian - 8/10 by Peter BradshawIt is all intensely controlled, although this is a drama that goes by the book, in all senses; there are no unabsorbed events to disorder the parable’s secular/religious alignment, and the Greeneian miracle it eventually conjures is arguably a little too pat. Yet it is also strangely moving.
Little White Lies - 8/10 by David JenkinsThis brilliant and subtle comedy about teenage martyrdom argues that extremism has no place in the modern world.
Film4 - 8/10 by Nigel FloydPared down images and intense, polemical dialogue capture a young girl's struggle to reconcile her personal belief in God with her community's blinkered religious values.
Contactmusic.com - 8/10 by Rich ClineA bracingly audacious approach to storytelling sets this film apart from the crowd, as it recounts an unnerving series of events in an inventive way.
Observer (UK) - 8/10 by Mark KermodeStations of the Cross appears to acknowledge the miraculous, even as it descends into hell on Earth.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by Kate MuirDietrich Brüggemann's disturbing drama premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival and is divided into 14 parts, often pale, minimalist tableaux, for the 14 Stations of the Cross.
