highly recommended

With good source material (Stephen Fried's A Thing of Beauty: The Tragedy of Supermodel Gia), Jolie's stunning performance, and strong directing by Michael Cristofer, the movie goes beyond the merely sensational. The script was cowritten by Cristofer and novelist Jay McInerney, whose Bright Lights, Big City covers similar territory. As a cautionary tale, Gia works. But to watch Jolie in her character's tragic self-destruction is utterly compelling. --N.F. Mendoza

anGIAlina jolie Pulls it Off

Wow Wow Wow. Angelina Jolie really pulls it off in this gorgeously moving biographical role of Gia Carangi, one of the worlds top and late model of the modern era. It's up close and personal. A got to have if your a Jolie fan and for an inside look at model fame.


Realistic portrayal of America's first Supermodel

This movie is not for the faint-hearted. No happy endings here. Just alot of edgy,powerful acting. It is the story of a young girl from Philadelphia who makes it big as a model in NYC and the viewer gets to see her evey step of teh way.

Angelina Joile is fabulous in her portrayal of Gia Carangi-a supermodel from the late 1970s-early 1980s era-whose rise to the top of the modeling world is almost as fast as her descent into drug addiction which ultimately was her undoing.

But what makes this HBO movie so realistic was that Joile actually becomes Carangi. And by the end of the movie you cant help but feel emphathy for the character even though her actions are ultimately self-destructive.

If you like sex this movie has it. If you like drama its got that too. But most of all it has strong acting and an early role that eventually paved the way for Joile's climb to superstar status.

Gia

Although a very sad story, this was a really intense, and interesting movie. Angelina lives up to her best performances, as usual.


the real Gia was not portrayed well

Anjolina Jolie did a wonderful job with this role however the writers took a lot of liberties with Gia's life. Everyone makes her mom seem like the bad guy but Gia's issues ran deeper than the lack of her mother's love like the writers want the public to believe. Gia was most likely bipolar which little was done for or known about in the 80's. Gia was a truly beautiful woman but I would wager that she thought and felt as though she were a man. Today we have a label for what I think she was and that is Transgendered. If she were born in the 80's, she would most likely be alive today with medication and a better understanding of who she really is.
