This performance was truly the one that showed what Jolie was capable of--true commitment to her character, and an absolute fearlessness that is rarely seen (Sally Kirkland in ANNA comes to mind). Her performance is captivating, as are the other performances in the film (most notably, Mercedes Ruehl, who should have been nominated for an Emmy for her role as Gia's mother). However, I think the film is important for its form as well; the editing is special, and the script tells the story in a truly unique way. This is a biopic of the highest caliber, and showed HBO's dedication to story and to artists in the late 90's. I also like the fact that the film doesn't turn into an anti-AIDS' docudrama; it's there, and it's dealt with on some level, but the story remains the story of Gina. Well worth seeing.

I am always blown away by these in depth reviews..mine will always be as short as I can make them. IMDb requires 10 lines. RME. I don't have that much to say about this movie or any movie I don't think. Gia was a decent movie. I love AJ she did a great job, I had not heard of this super model of course I looked her up while I was watching this movie. I saw this movie quite some time ago. I suppose it is possible she would have been big if she had not passed but I don't think she was that big, still it was a good story. I need more lines to make 10.

This is by far the most Underrated Film of all time at my age... I'm 28. That is all I want to say. I really looked for this movie because of Angelina Jolie. After Girl, Interrupted, I just had to see this. No one else could have played it better than Angie.People are complaining because of the story and the drug theme, they can't understand it's based on a TRUE story so that's what it is. Goodness! Underrated... underrated.... UNDERRATED. Great performance by Jolie, as always.
