There’s a reason why Cindy Crawford was dubbed “Baby Gia” when she first hit the modeling scene. Crawford, a 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 and Cosmopolitan before dying of complications from AIDS in 1986.
Intense and riveting! It is a voyeur film in the sense that the thrill is watching as Angelina Jolie BECOMES Gia in every sense of the word. Her performance is one of the best portrayals of real people in years. She is completely and utter believable. She captures what is surely the essence of Gia. She brings a desperate wanting to the character that you can feel.
