Gia is a film about a tomboy who happens to have the looks of a supermodel but with an attitude.
Although superficial at times, style is incorporated throughout the chaotic biopic about Gia Carangi who was addicted to
heroin and therefore died of AIDS-related complications at the age of 26.
It's Angelina Jolie who gives the best acting performance of her overrated career. The transformation of her character from
start to finish is impressive. Mercedes Ruehl is also solid in a supporting role.
All in all, Gia is worth watching, but who cares about the spoiled, useless model?
