Maria
Completing a trilogy that follows kaleidoscopic portraits of Jackie Kennedy and Princess Diana, filmmaker Pablo Larraín turns his keen cinematic eye to the renowned soprano Maria Callas with this stately biopic of the cultural icon. Portraying the epochal diva in her psychologically brittle final days, Angelina Jolie gives a Golden Globe-nominated performance of resounding elemental intensity.
"If this biopic piques a moviegoer’s interest in Maria Callas there are many ways to learn about her and listen to her glorious voice. Maria and Jolie’s persuasive performance may well light that fuse of curiosity." (Leonard Maltin)
"La Diva Eterna lives in Jolie, with a performance as towering as it is understated: sad and soulful and heartbreaking. She has never been better. Brava!" (Empire Magazine)
""Maria" doesn’t venture into that deeper, more elusive questioning of what makes an artist compelling. It’s an admirable facsimile of an icon that inspires you to seek out the original. And that might be the real gift of the film -- and a fitting tribute." (Globe and Mail)
"Character and actor blend so seamlessly, so ferociously, that you leave not just with heightened empathy for La Callas but Jolie as well." (Associated Press)
