Movie Reviews of Gia (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: cast better than direction
Summary: 4 Stars
Cast is excellent, Jolie totally believable. 4 stars because of her.
Something bugs me about direction. At times "told" as documentary, at times overdramatized... It's like director wasn't quite sure how to tell the story.
Script also has a few holes in it, for people not familiar with Gia Carangi story - Why wasn't her mother there for her, ever? What happened to her friends? Actually what happened to all the people a person in her 20s has around her? Was her agent not only her second mother but also the only friend?
And finally, what was it about Gia that propelled her into stratosphere, just like that?
On last note, this film will most likely leave you feeling "heavy" and depressed.
Movie Review: File This One With the Depresso Movies
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an excellent film. Well acted, well thought-out. It's steamy in some places, emotionally gripping in others. There's a lot being said here, and none of it is terribly uplifting, especially since it's based in a true story. This movie will leave you thoughtful, maybe even introspective, but most of all you'll just be depressed. A bottle of wine and a sink to soak your head in afterwards are a couple of good ideas here.....
Movie Review: GIA (UNRATED)
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE FOR ANGELINA JOLIE FANS. I HAD NEVER HEARD OF GIA CARANGI BEFORE SEEING THIS MOVIE, HAVING FOUND OUT ALOT MORE ABOUT THE REAL GIA, ANGELINA'S PERFORMANCE WAS FANTASTIC AND SO REAL. THE ACTING IS GREAT AND TELLS US OF THE SUFFERING GIA WENT THROUGH WHILE ABUSING DRUGS, A SAD YET VERY INTRESTING STORY ABOUT A VERY BEAUTIFUL YET TROUBLESOME SUPERMODEL, A MUST!Movie Review: Sad true life tale
Summary: 4 Stars
Sad true life tale of a young girl full of dare and adventure backed with little intelligence and few self preservation skills.
Drawn to modelling because her beauty. And Destroyed by her own lack of self control and careless excess. Gia (Unrated Edition)
Movie Review: Mesmerizing Tale of Fame and Self-destruction
Summary: 4 Stars
This is really an excellent film and it rightly catapulted Jolie to stardom. Her performance here is outstanding. If this had not been an HBO film, she probably would have won an Oscar. It is a beautifully filmed gut-wrenching story. Not for the prudish certainly, but for those heartier souls, this is a real winner.
