Maria

The tumultuous, beautiful and tragic story of the life of the world’s greatest female opera singer, relived and reimagined during her final days in 1970s Paris.

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.

Maria is an ambitious film. From frame one to its end, however, the movie is nothing less than a gripping, empathetic portrayal of a woman’s last days that, if nothing else, reminds us of the kind of power Angelina Jolie still brings to her work.
