Yeah, what the heck is going on here.

This won't come to Europe until January/February, so I'm guessing Netflix is only going to release it on their platform in the US but it's just a trailer, let us watch the 2-3 minutes. LOL

Ah, cheeky buggers.

huh, i thought this was coming to netflix here too but apparently not? it feels netflix is nabbing distribution for the US only more often lately. (eta: second trailer in the post is not geoblocked for me!)

anyways, this looks visually gorgeous and i’m excited to see angelina’s performance. i loved jackie and was cooler on spencer, but still liked it enough that this should be a slam dunk for me lol

She's goooorgeous

[pinkspade]

i am rooting for angelina but the trailer did not inspire anything in me beyond "damn she's gorgeous"

it feels a little flat? dramatic without depth?

I mean nothing really happened in the trailer but yeah Angie is gorgeous

The amount of good biopics can be counted on one hand tbh

Jolie is cast really well here. I's hard to show in a film how Callas was considered exceptional - a better singer than anyone else on the planet - not with fifteen-thousand professionally sung and recorded versions of "her" greatest hits available on Youtube and/or Spotitfy. But you see Angelina Jolie being exceptionally beautiful and that kind of makes you see what you can't hear. I think it works. At least in this trailer.

I do wonder how Toni Erdmann's Maren Ade ended up producing this.

What about Tebaldi?
