1977: Maria Callas, once the world's greatest opera diva, lives in seclusion in Paris with her staff and her two poodles. Her health is getting worse and worse. Then she receives a request to go on tour again. Will La Callas sing again? And if so, for whom?
"This enjoyable biopic offers a loving and affectionate portrait of Callas that never airbrushes her foibles. It’s likely to put Jolie front and centre in the Oscar race, too." - Time Out
"As in Jackie and Spencer, Maria offers a wide-open vista of its subject through an arrow-slit of a temporal window: in this case, the final week of Callas’s life." - Daily Telegraph
"Jolie’s broadly theatrical but delicately unraveling performance feels immersive and self-revealing in equal measure, as if Maria Callas is a conduit for her to reclaim her own identity as an artist and a human being." - Indiewire
