Review of Gia (1998) by Dann M — 29 Aug 2012
The HBO film Gia is a compelling biopic about Gia Marie Carangi, America's first supermodel. The story follows Gia's rise to stardom, along with her turbulent lifestyle and drug addiction, which ultimately ended with her becoming one of the first celebrities to die from AIDS.
Angelina Jolie leads the cast as Gia, and gives an excellent performance. However, the film style is a bit distracting and breaks up some of the momentum. There are also some storytelling issues, and some of the characters are a little underdeveloped.
But even with its flaws, Gia is a captivating and provocative film with a fascinating story.
