Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

The result is not only one of Zeffirelli's sumptuous productions but also a film that celebrates the sacredness of artistic integrity that to Zeffirelli Callas embodied fully. Read full review

William Arnold

Her (Ardant's) diva-in-decline is funny, lightly campy and dead-on in the way it encapsulates the sadness at the end of a selfish life lived only for art. Read full review

Stanley Kauffmann

Ardant is marvelously genuine: fiery, petty, exalted. Read full review

Ty Burr

In sum, a big, honking tutti-frutti sundae of a movie that nonetheless is shot through with authentic feeling. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Campy and clichéd. Read full review

Enrique Fernandez

Melodramatic realism is the wrong genre to tell the tale of a figure whose life was already over-the-top melodramatic. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

A hysterically over-the-top backstage melodrama whose temperature seldom falls below overheated. Read full review
