Angelina Jolie plays the superstar soprano Maria Callas in the new movie “Maria.” We went to the Metropolitan Opera with her and the director Pablo Larraín. “There’s an authenticity here that is beautiful,” Jolie said. “There’s a poetry to it all.”

Hold, please. I just read that Jolie is indeed singing in the film. I hereby take back my gentle dig (even though there's still an unknown soprano somewhere who would have killed it in this role), because it's impressive that Jolie is putting in the work
Her voice is reportedly mixed with Maria’s and it is possible that she sings in the scenes where Maria already lost her voice and the ability to sing. The movie is dull. Callas was full of fire to the very end. Jolie is like a wax figure.
Jolie can imitate but not act. Callas was expressive and mercurial. You never knew what to expect from her. Jolie was totally predictable: just pouted her lips and shooted arrogant looks. What a bore!
Angelina is dull. For decades. All her roles are basically unwatchable crap. She cant handle the role of Maria Callas who was actually a genuine and interesting person. Its like you take Elon Musk to play Sinatra or Johnny Cash
given the number of incredible and capable opera singers, I’m wondering why she was picked. pretty neutral about her acting but I doubt she could sing ann aria. 🤔

Self absorption is not attractive.
