Maria Reviews

The film is redundant in its emptiness. [Full review in Spanish]

| Feb 25, 2025

Angelina Jolie shines as Callas, not only in terms of acting but expertly lip synching to the diva’s original recordings.

| Original Score: B | Feb 23, 2025

More than an actress, [Angelina Jolie] represents everything that it means to be a star today. And as such, she brings that experience to her performance, especially when we see her assuming Callas' voice...[Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 20, 2025

In one of her best works, Angelina Jolie shows us talent and the deepest torment in equal parts. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 20, 2025

...Steven Knight...mixes fantasy and reality more than anything...And the result is rather dull, as the answers that come out of Jolie's mouth are so vague that they end up being boring. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 20, 2025

Larraín offers us a poetic portrait of Maria Callas, where the beauty of the image and the power of music combine to capture the drama of an artist trapped between glory and solitude. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 19, 2025

This psychodrama on opera’s prima donna compensates with arty aesthetics.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 19, 2025

This is a film that is guaranteed to divide. On one hand it looks beautiful and Angelina Jolie produces a brilliant acting performance but on the other hand the film sadly never really connects with its audience.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 19, 2025

Larraín makes a dispensable, hieratic, and pretentious portrait of a woman who gave much joy and feeling to those who heard her sing ... [but] I can't take my eyes or ears off Jolie, who has natural beauty, style, and magnetism. [Full review in Spanish]

“Maria” belongs to Jolie. She turns a decent film into an unevenly mesmerizing experience, allowing us to understand a little more about Maria Callas as a human being, and not just as a legendary figure in the opera world. [Full review in Spanish].

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 9, 2025

The film's cinematography is incredible, striking and unique, Larraín always chooses the best possible shots for his muse, the editing...has the ideal rhythm and, of course, Angelina Jolie plays a role that's perfect for her. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 7, 2025

Maria may not be the best installment in Pablo Larrain's particular universe of divas, but it is a stark portrait of the depression of the great stars and a unique look at the singer's life. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 6, 2025

Angelina Jolie and Pablo Larraín bring the great opera diva back to life. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 5, 2025

Even if his direction waivers elsewhere, Larraín proves he’s still an excellent actor’s director, nudging Jolie towards greatness.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 5, 2025

The main reason this biopic works is because Jolie gives it her all. Even when it becomes too melodramatic, it’s hard not to be moved by her performance.

| Feb 4, 2025

It is not a biopic. It is a redemption of one of the best sopranos from the last century. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 2, 2025

[Angelina Jolie's] performance – and the script and opulent camerawork (American cinematographer Edward Lachman) – are the strengths of this film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 31, 2025

A soulful, sometimes spooky glance at a diva at the edge of oblivion, and a portrait as rich, melancholy and moving as its subject.

| Jan 31, 2025

Angelina Jolie does a fine job showing what a sad and sorry wreck Callas had become at the end of her stellar life and sporadically brings her to life. Regrettably, the movie is diminished by a fractured structure and a stilted pace.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 31, 2025

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 31, 2025
