There's a reason why Cindy Crawford was dubbed "Baby Gia" when she first hit the modeling scene. Indeed, Crawford, now the world's best-known supermodel, greatly resembled model Gia Carangi, who went from high school to the cover of British Vogue in less than two years. Carangi appeared on many more covers of Vogue (French, British, Italian, and American) and Cosmopolitan before dying of complications from AIDs (she was an IV heroin user) in 1986. Now most people recognize Carangi's name from this powerful HBO film that stars Golden Globe-winner Angelina Jolie, who comes by her talent honestly. Jolie is the daughter of veteran actor Jon Voight, and her own training as a model serves her well--she has the moves. Throughout, she's heartbreaking--as no doubt the real Carangi was--effective, and stunning. 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

Summary: Greatest Angelina Jolie Movie Ever!!!
Comment: After watching this film, Angelina Jolie's performance proved to me she is undoubtedly the greatest actress in the world now. Never has she given a more complex, emotional, memorable, and sexy performance as she does in Gia. Never have I seen her act more natural in a film as well. This movie is a must have!!!

Summary: Angelina Jolie as a Model, and a great story
Comment: Angelina Jolie as model Gia. This is a very good film, with a great story, and Angelina is fantastic. I am unfamiliar with the original model and the biography of Gia, but I loved this film. Since Hackers, I've watched anything with Angelina Jolie, and she seems right for the character portrayed. I doubt that many actresses would have pulled off the "hooked" scenes as well as Jolie.
