Netflix ‘Griselda’ Movie Review

For 11 seasons on Modern Family, Sofia Vergara showcased her incredible comedic prowess, cementing herself as a comedic force in the entertainment industry. However, with her latest venture, “Griselda,” Vergara steps into the dramatic realm and proves that her talent knows no bounds.

In the role of Griselda Blanco, a character she also executive produces, Vergara seamlessly transforms, delivering a mesmerizing performance that transcends her comedic roots.

Griselda is portrayed as a formidable figure in Miami’s drug game, unapologetically ruthless and willing to employ extreme measures to ascend to the pinnacle of power. Whether wielding a baseball bat or a gun, Griselda navigates the treacherous world of crime with a chilling composure that captivates audiences.

Despite Griselda’s unequivocal villainy, the show ingeniously manipulates viewer sympathies by pitting her against characters even more malevolent than herself.

While the majority of the cast lacks depth, Vergara’s commanding presence compensates for any shortcomings, holding the narrative together.

Griselda’s character is a nuanced blend of terror and maternal warmth, earning her the affectionate moniker “the Godmother” from her cartel.

Vergara seamlessly oscillates between these contrasting facets, making her character both fearsome and endearing. The show hinges on Vergara’s performance, and its impact wanes when she is absent from the screen.

While the first episode delves into Griselda’s Colombian past, providing context for her migration to America, the series quickly accelerates, spanning years to encapsulate her intriguing life story.

The narrative’s conventional storytelling approach, however, diminishes the impact of Griselda’s remarkable rise and brutal fall. Despite occasional lulls in the middle episodes, the cautionary tale of Griselda’s journey remains compelling.

In the face of any narrative shortcomings, Vergara’s exceptional performance elevates “Griselda” to a level that transcends its flaws. Her portrayal of the complex character leaves viewers questioning whether they are witnessing something far superior.

As Sofia Vergara continues to demonstrate her versatility, “Griselda” stands as a testament to her ability to seamlessly transition from comedy to dramatic brilliance, solidifying her status as an entertainment powerhouse.
