Summary: Explotation film. Only.
Review: It's bad enough that Hollywood releases this shock movies, mostly those that are based on tragic true stories, but this` one is equally repulsive not just how it was filmed but also that jolie is playing the part, and her acting skills are not even worth talking about because it's so patheic.

Summary: HBO Acting
Review: This movie was bad. The acting was horrible. Merecedes Rhuel who played Gia's mother was like a cartoon character. The only good performance was by the blonde girlfriend (Elizabeth Mitchell). The whole thing just reeked of a made-for-HBO movie.
Fine for a late night hotel tv watch. Also, the Terrence Blanchard jazz soundtrack was pretty good. Otherwise, a PASS.

Summary: sad and beautiful
Review: i think is a great story! and angelina played the part perfectly! i've seen this a trillion times and would see it a trillion more. it's a story that teaches you something by just being real. nothing is hidden. i think it's a movie that everyone should see to bring better understanding to everyone about AIDS.

Summary: the best film ever
Review: If you havent seen this film already you must buy it and watch it over and over again. Angelina Jolie play a model in need of help as at a young age her mother left her father for a rich man which left her feeling alone. Brought up in a house full of men GIA is sure to turn out a tom boy which she does. meeting a photographer at the age of 17 GIA soon turns into a fashion ikon beautiful and succesful her life was great. As all models in the 80's gia was no different she started taking cocaine to be in the in croud. One photoshoot she was asked to do one topless which she refused to do unless a woman who was working for the photographer was in with her they soon became lovers. So the number 1 model in the world was a bisexual cocaine addict. The film really had a twist ibn it when Gia went to her dealer for more cocaine but was no where to be seen but there was a nother crack head there and she was so desprate she took heroine which he offerd her instead. She took it soon passed out when she woke she was coverd in bruises which this drug addict did he also raped her. so now she had been raped beaten and given heroine with a dirty needle. she caught HIV she didnt know this at this point her girlfriend told he to choose the drugs or her she chose the drugs. soon after she was in rehab no longer beautiful noone wanted her to model for them when she got out
she was cutting her self because she didnt have drugs she went back to her dealer which beat her because she used drugs off someone else. this is when she found out about the HIV it was now worse she had AIDS and was going to die she went to she her ex girlfriend but never told her she was going to die later that week she was in hospital dieing. When you watch this film you will see the brilliant acting from Angelina Jolie but i warn you this film is very sad at the end even i cried i cant get over how good her acting was and im not the only one as she won an oscar for it

Summary: Could This Movie Be More Overly Hyped?
Review: I like Angelina Jolie, but just can't understand what all the fuss is about. This is a very spicy version of an R-rated cable flick. Lower the heat to a light simmer, and you can count on seeing this overrated piece of crapola on Lifetime or Oxygen very soon. Mercedes Rhuel already has a special place on those channels, and poorly written movies like this only secure a future home for Jolie among the likes of Cheryl Ladd and Susan Lucci once her star fades. A pity for the real Gia.

Summary: Mesmerizing Tale of Fame and Self-destruction
Review: This is really an excellent film and it rightly catapulted Jolie to stardom. Her performance here is outstanding. If this had not been an HBO film, she probably would have won an Oscar. It is a beautifully filmed gut-wrenching story. Not for the prudish certainly, but for those heartier souls, this is a real winner.

Summary: Angelina Jolie makes this movie
Review: Angelina Jolie is the only good thing about this movie. The writing is sub-par, the story is simple, and not to mention it's a TV movie, so not much money went in to making it interesting to watch.

However, if you like Angelina Jolie, like I do, then you will like this movie. It showcases her body above her acting ability, but she still makes this movie 3 stars instead of 1.

Summary: One of the great ones
Review: Angelina Jolie was great in this film. She has a truely magnificent rack. They kept me mezmorized just starring and worndering what it would be like to be there, with those perfect pectoral specimens. A great watch, just need the pause button a lot!

Summary: A true story
Review: The best film yet, Angelina jolie really shows the story of the model Gia Marie Carangi. Its very tragic and sad, and she had it all. She had money, fame, any guy or girl, but she didn't had love from whom she wanted. If you want more info e-mail me at [e-mail]

Summary: What a story!!!!
Review: I just watched the movie. What a story! I read some reviewes here. My gosh, people keep telling about her being lesbian and drugs. C'ommon, that's all just wrapping. The truth is deeper. Forget all politeness. This is a story about a real girl with true emotions in this phony faked world. She was like a diamond between faked stones. She died not because of drugs. She was from a different world. She had no future here anyway.

The movie is really great. It's amazing what Jolie has done. Truly amazing. The story looks simple at first but when you start paying attention to details it's amazing how deep she made it. Truly amzing work!

People keep saying the drugs killed her. It's so phony! Watch the movie. Be honest with yourself. It's really one of those great movies that make you think.

This is clearly not a light movie. See if you can handle it. Not everyone does. But if you're looking for some real emotional experience, maybe this is what you need.
