Graham Norton Highlights I Liked: Nicole Kidman/Cynthia Erivo/James Norton/Chris McClausland/Benson Boone (2024)
Plot
A powerful CEO puts her career and family at risk when she begins a torrid affair with her much younger intern. Jean Reno filmed scenes for the film, but they were cut entirely from the finished film.
Maybe she was
This film is endlessly slow. Maia Callas is portrayed as an arrogant diva.
To me, she was boring, spiritless, and one-dimensional
However, her struggle to make a comeback while indulging in various drugs is pitiful. Angelina Jolie is praised as outstanding in this role.
I found the plot difficult to follow at times
Her housekeeper and butler seemed devoted to Maria, but she is not always nice to them. Granted, I know very little about Maria Callas, other than that she was a renowned opera singer and was once the lover of Ari Onassis.
This film depicts the struggles of her late life
It would have been more interesting if it was a true biographical representation.
