Angelina Jolie as Maria Callas in Maria
Following Jackie and Spencer, Maria is Pablo Larraín's latest snapshot portrait of the publicly glamorous but privately tragic. And after Oscar nominations for Natalie Portman as Jacqueline Kennedy and Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana, one for Angelina Jolie as Maria Callas almost seems like a foregone conclusion. Netflix snatched up the new film before its premiere at the Venice Film Festival, which just goes to show how much of a sure bet the thing is.
Of course, that all sounds terribly tedious without things getting messy. The traumas that cut her the deepest, instances of verbal abuse from a mother seemingly afflicted with narcissistic personality disorder, are for some reason only mentioned in passing multiple times.
In 'Maria,' Jolie Comes Alive Only During Singing Performances Jolie is best when performing Callas the performer. She apparently spent seven months training to sing opera, but this is not so much a comment on her vocals. The two Callas performances that bookend the film showcase the finest and most nuanced acting from her in the film. In other scenes, she is consistently one note. She is supposed to play a diva, but that larger-than-life aura doesn't come across.
