Girl Culture (Substack)

As a movie, Maria is just okay. As a calling card for the next phase of Jolie’s career, however, it sings to the rafters.

Some will think that this depressing bio/drama is a disservice to the memory of Maria Callas.

Rated: 2/4

TheWrap

In a movie that is stately on the surface and stormy underneath, Jolie’s drawn, almost architectural features and air of enforced restraint is ideal for Larraín’s vision of Callas.

Although Maria suffers from pacing issues that could cause viewers to lose interest in the second act, its visual grandeur, strong performances, and ambitious thematic swings make it a worthy film.

Rated: 7/10

Sadly though, [Angeline Jolie and the cinematography] cannot save the anemic script and story and overall lackluster execution. In other words, it’s beautiful but boring.

Nadine Whitney

The Curb

Maria is exalted and exploitative: a marvellous piece of morbidity. Maria Callas’ rarefied talent sits behind Larraín’s managed misery. “There is no life off the stage,” is the leitmotif of Maria – a note too sour for one as extolled as La Callas.

Rated: 3/5
