Gia isn't hagiography, I'll give it that, but it is reductive to a fault

Jolie gives it her all in a thoroughly uninhibited and highly effective portrait of a woman living from thrill to thrill.

Teasing, but hard-to-watch, biography of a famed model struck down by ’80s extravagance. NOTE: Angelina Jolie gets naked … a lot. Hooray!
