Critics Consensus

Angelina Jolie unveils new highs within her emotional register in Pablo Larraín's Maria, keeping this tragic biopic compelling even when its theatrics go off-key.

Adam Graham

Detroit News

"Carry-On" is an action movie that is definitely a Christmas movie, no ifs, ands or buts about it.

Rated: B

Wall Street Journal

Much would be forgiven if the sourness of “Maria” and its title goddess didn’t try one’s patience quite so cruelly.

What we get here isn’t interesting, and it’s not told in an interesting way.

AARP Movies for Grownups

Jolie’s voice blends with Callas’s in the singing scenes, which soar. Her performance is better than the movie.

Rated: 4/5

It is Jolie's performance that is the flame that will keep drawing moviegoer moths to the story.

Maria is the perfect vehicle for Angelina Jolie to deliver an Oscar-worthy performance, and she does just that. While not quite as well-paced as Larraín’s other (recent) films, Maria provides a beautiful exploration of its lead character.

Rated: 7/10

A beautifully filmed story about a very sad and unhappy woman at the end of what had been a sparkling, world-famous career. Kind of a downer to watch, but wonderful recordings of past performances and if felt like Angelina Jolie owned her role.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
