Audience Says

While its cryptic and aloof pondering on life, fame, and addiction take a toll on its tempo, Angelina Jolie masterfully steps into the heels of the legendary opera singer Maria Callas and delivers a memorable leitmotif.

Stephen Romei The Australian [Angelina Jolie's] performance – and the script and opulent camerawork (American cinematographer Edward Lachman) – are the strengths of this film. Rated: 3/5 Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald Jolie’s is a wholly convincing performance... Whether she’s playing grand dames or action heroes, “don’t mess with me” is her default position, so Callas’ flair for melodrama is well served. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (LAist) It's the performance that matters here, and Angelina Jolie's performance is captivating. Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Tim Miller Cape Cod Wave Magazine Angelina Jolie as opera legend Maria Callas in this portentous drama in which the singer reviews her tumultuous life while struggling with poor health and drug abuse. Rated: 2/4 Jul 22, 2025 Full Review Sammie Purcell Rough Draft Atlanta While the details of Maria’s life are interesting in their own right, the film (written by Steven Knight) is at its best not when it focuses on the external, but rather the internal. Jul 18, 2025 Full Review Alise Chaffins MacGuffin or Meaning (Substack) Maria attempts to look at all of these and is only somewhat successful in that endeavor. Perhaps La Callas is best enjoyed in her recordings rather than in some kind of understanding. Rated: 3/5 Jul 16, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Cody Beautiful but made me roll my eyes a few times. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review johannes Faay we were send too the wrong theater.by the girl at the checking, we were looking at each other and for a while we could not understand watt was going on finely I went back to the checking and found we were sent to the wrong place, they offered us a refund or tickets for a next time . we drove 35 miles to see Maria. the manager sed she was sorry! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Jay U The visual images and music are all so beautiful. Callas's life story, including her complex yet loving relationship with Onassis, is vividly portrayed. Angelina Jolie's acting imbues the entire film with tremendous emotional power. To me, this movie, Maria, was an absolute masterpiece. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review Anonymous Too fragmented - made it difficult to fully understand the depth of her despair re: the profound disappointments in her life which translated into the loss of her exquisite operatic voice. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/23/24 Full Review Karl-Heinz outstanding, heart moving movie of excellence in acting, script, acting, casting and directing Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Karen G Gorgeous singing acting and cinematography Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
