[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really wanted to like it, but I can't stand it. Her acting is too drawn-out and affected. [/quote]

I thought WaPo had a fair review, wrote Jolie inhabits the role of an exemplary wan, suffering diva (who could be anyone) but [b]fails decisively in capturing Callas's spirit and charm[/b]. This is evident in the clips I've seen, so I have no interest in watching. Gaga would have been a far better choice, in appearance and voice. Or Sabrina Impacciatore, if they could have convincingly aged her for the later scenes. Sounds like the script is also a dog. Too bad, because this project had real potential.[/quote]

OP here. So true, Jolie shows zero spirit or charm. 
I agree, Gaga would have been a better choice. I liked her in The Gucci family a lot, except for her fake accent that sounded more Eastern European than Italian. It would have been so easy to learn an Italian accent.[/quote]

Agree the accent was terrible. However, Jolie is not any better at accents.[/quote]
