| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 27, 2005

For Callas fans, this is a winner. For others, it should at least be interesting.

| Original Score: A- | Feb 3, 2005

The film's portrait of the singer is indelible. The story as a whole, however, doesn't hold together, primarily because the imaginary characters and situations that surround her are so inadequately sketched.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 28, 2005

A film that forgets to bring its central character to life.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Dec 24, 2004

For all the devotion Zeffirelli professes to Callas' legacy, the script reduces her to a cartoon.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 4, 2004

A tribute to an artist that never approaches art.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 29, 2004

Goes far deeper into one man's opera-diva fetish than most people will want to follow.

| Nov 29, 2004

It's a small-scale premise for a movie and, given its wooden, dubbed dialogue (a supreme irony), it's an experience purely for Callas fans.

| Nov 29, 2004

On about five different levels, Callas Forever constitutes grave robbery.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 28, 2004

Most of the budget seems to have gone to the moments of Carmen that we see; they look sumptuous and robust, and the surrounding film looks, well, like a low-budget art movie.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 26, 2004

By aspiring no higher than campy adulation, it ill serves the memory of the most storied opera diva of the last century.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 26, 2004

Though campy at times, Callas Forever is a generous offering, full of flamboyant characters and grand performances.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 24, 2004

An enjoyably risible biopic about the final days of the opera singer that's full of foot-stamping tantrums and high-pitched hissy fits.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 16, 2004

Campy and clichéd.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 5, 2004

This fictional 'what if' scenario is a bit campy and stagey, like a session of Opera 101.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 5, 2004

A lip-synching hall of mirrors, it is essentially a piece of highbrow karaoke.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 4, 2004

The result is not only one of Zeffirelli's sumptuous productions but also a film that celebrates the sacredness of artistic integrity that to Zeffirelli Callas embodied fully.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 4, 2004

You will go away devastated and raving about the great French actress Fanny Ardant as Callas. It's a titanic performance that redefines the term 'tour de force.'
