- Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: The glossiness and shine of its surfaces cannot be denied, it is a sight to behold. But for some reason, I couldn’t connect with its heart.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: given the flights of fancy Knight has embellished her final days with, it is Jolie’s and Favino’s performances that will be remembered far longer than the film itself.
- Bavner Donaldo @ Cinejour [Indonesian]
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: A stylish but empty portrait of opera soprano Maria Callas, elevated by Angelina Jolie’s luminous turn as the iconic diva.
- Alan Mattli @ Maximum Cinema [German]
- Excerpt: An emotionally rudimentary piece of pretension that delivers little outside of pretty images and depthless artifice.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: The whole is imbued with similar flourishes as Larraín’s other English-language heightened biographies, Jackie and Spencer, to find its narrative thrust landing somewhere between the former’s poetic realism and latter’s evocative fantasy.
- [New] | Diego Salgado @ Sofilm [Spanish]
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: “Maria” belongs to Jolie. She turns a decent film into an unevenly mesmerizing experience, allowing us to understand a little more about Maria Callas as a human being, and not just as a legendary figure in the opera world.
