Maria

"'Maria' bears many of the hallmarks of Larraín’s lavish empathy and filmmaking skill. Yet the movie, in contrast, is driven by a dramatic fatalism that does it little favor" 

"Ms. Jolie is fantastically regal, but it [seems] like a humorless retread of Sunset Boulevard" 

"In a queenly performance of poise and mystique, Angelina Jolie plays Callas with an ethereal presence (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)" 

"A Saccharine Biopic Does Maria Callas A Disservice (...) Larraín is far too enamored with a predictable saccharine climax to see the life of the singer in its true tragedy, that of a woman forced to conform to oppressive beauty standards that would come to ruin her most cherished treasure." 

"The movie is like a glittering jewel in a glass showcase, inviting you to look but not touch (...) Still, Maria is a far more daring and unconventional take on the final chapter of the legendary soprano’s life than 'Callas Forever'." 

"This is an exquisitely filmed and at times deeply melancholy portrait (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" 

"Jolie Embraces the Crazy in Dreamlike Maria Callas Drama (...) Like the first two installments of Larraín’s famous-women chronicles, “Maria” is exquisitely beautiful but also elusive; it explores Callas but has no interest in defining her, explaining her or pinning her down."
