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.

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.

Empire Magazine

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!

Rated: 4/5

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

While the film's a blatant Oscar bid, it's likely there's no other actress who could have played the lead role better than Oscar-winner Angelina Jolie

Rated: 3/4

Seven Days (VT)

It's an easy film to sink into — the vibe is impeccable, as the kids say — but we emerge wanting to know all the juicy details about Callas that this movie leaves out.

KDHX (St. Louis)

The density of the visuals, music, and sound, of the space that often dwarfs Maria, and of her conflicted self makes this a fitting tribute to Maria Callas.

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

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.

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.
