It's the late 1970's New York with Studio 54, designer jeans, drugs, and disco. This is the outrageous breathtaking story of the first fashion super-model - her rise to the top, and her fall caught up in a whirlwind of drugs, sex, and celebrity. Faye Dunaway, Mercedes Ruehl, Michael Cristofer, and Angelina Jolie star.

Gia Reviews:
3 stars out of 5 -- "[E]njoyable and lively viewing, and a fitting tribute to a lost girl."-- Kat Brown, Empire
Good real life movie.. I thought this movie did a pretty good job at showing the details of Gia Carangi's life. It showed the good, the bad & the ugly of her career.
I thought Angelina Jolie had an outstanding performance as the lead. Def. my favorite role from her because it was so real.
I thought everything in the movie was very realistic & sometimes chilling. I knew mid way thru the movie how it was all going to end thou. Shows how ugly drugs can make a person, but she was still beautiful & such a real person! Submitted by lw (Iowa) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 2 of 3 found this helpful.

Interesting and intriguing The life and times of supermodel Gia Carangi,because of it's meandering moments and long running time, we don't have that presumed sense of intensity and rapidness of Carangi's short career,Angelina Jolie (who won a Golden Globe for her performance) shines in the title role.
