For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Expected more

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Although Gia Carangi's biography was good enough to make this movie, I felt as if Angelina Jolie wasn't good representation of Gia. The thing about Gia wasn't just physical beauty that got too emphasized in this movie, but Gia's eyes that showed her vulnerability. This movie lacks a real emotion, that pain which is crucial to make it really work. Angelina is beautiful and she's got some bad girl attitude that helped the movie but she lacks emotion and vulnerability. Mila Kunis showed more emotion playing young Gia than Angelina did. Also Gia's mother played by Mercedes Ruehl wasn't even close to Gia's real mother Kathleen, not only by appearance but by character as well. This movie should be called "Drug addict-supermodel", not "Gia". All it showed is that even beautiful girls get ruined by fashion world. It didn't show a real emotional suffering, real childhood traumas (which in Gia's case were sexual abuse and abandonment by her mother caused by divorce of her parents). It's like seeing somebody's present without really going in depth about their past that made them feeling hurt and abandoned.

This review is a tribute to Gia Maria Carangi, Angelina Jolie and Geology Institute Of America. It is dedicated to Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Helena Christensen and Her Royal Moodyness Vanessa Moody. I did not want to neglect GIA (January 29 1960 - November 18 1986.

Gia leaves a mark on the viewer. I know nothing about the real Gia (pardon my ignorance) but I could feel her in Jolie. I think she has acted superbly, probably she identified with Gia. The interviews of people who knew Gia actually weren't enacted that well and seemed a little made up. But in Gia, one finds the traces of that wild -tender friend, which I guess we all have. The movie falls into the category (though at a lower rank) of 'Trainspotting' and 'Requiem for a Dream'. The portrayal of the female love and the way Gia wants to be the man is quite nicely shown. I just wish that the movie had no interview format and had let Gia to tell her own story. (8 September 2006)

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.
