angelina jolie pulls off a stunning performance. she lives, breathes the role of supermodel gia. the role is incredibly complex, and the essence of the role comes across in a very early line in the movie when gia says "You scare the s*** out of people so they can't see how scared you are."
angelina jolie is simply brilliant as the little girl in the grown-up bad bad world. she brings the loneliness and vulnerabilities underneath the tough outer cover to stark light. the director has done a smart piece of work with the characterisation. i suppose it is that much easier with a biopic. before the movie i had not heard of gia and was rather moved by the story.
the movie is sometimes too manipulative, with an obvious effort to make the audience cry. angelina jolie carries it off quite easily though. the other standout performance was from elizabeth mitchell as linda, gia's lover. she gives a very mature and understanding performance.
however, apart from these, the movie is not very gripping and quite often meanders on. a must watch for people who love sad movies. and jolie fans just cannot afford to miss this "t.v movie".
an angelina 7!!
