Despite being a bit slow at times, "Maria" thrivingly captures the decline of the legendary opera singer Maria Callas, showcasing both her immense talent and tragic loneliness.
Pablo Larrain masterfully intertwines music with visual storytelling, presenting a stunning collage of Maria Callas's last days that compels the audience to reflect on her complex legacy.
Angelina Jolie's portrayal of Callas includes a commendable aspect of authenticity, as she performs her own vocals, diverging from traditional portrayals of singers in film.
The film's strong composition is highlighted from the very first shot, setting a tone of nostalgic beauty that enhances its exploration of Callas's emotional and artistic struggles.
