Pablo Larraín's "Maria," a biopic of venerated opera singer Maria Callas starring Angelina Jolie, received ecstatic reviews when it premiered at the Venice Film Festival (it's his third film about near-mythic women of the 20th century after "Jackie" and "Spencer.")

Here's the opinion of an opera critic, Christopher Corwin, who has never seen a Jolie film before.

"Through her vocal coaching, Jolie sought to make her opera performances as realistic as possible, and they’re actually quite convincing," writes Corwin for Parterre Box. "The film opens with stark black-and-white footage of Jolie miming Desdemona’s 'Ave Maria' from 'Otello' juxtaposed with a remarkably detailed montage of her life — knowledgeable viewers will recognize how precisely the filmmaker and his crew have recreated iconic images of Callas. Ave Maria indeed!"
