‘Triumphant’ biopic with Hollywood A-lister finally arriving on Netflix in days after delay
It caused a stir when it premiered last year.
A sweeping biopic about a musical diva’s final days starring a Hollywood A-lister is finally arriving on Netflix.
The movie premiered at Venice Film Festival last year to acclaim and talk of Academy Awards before eventually flying under the radar somewhat upon release.
But now viewers can judge for themselves if this was fair or not as Maria, with Angelina Jolie as opera sensation Maria Callas, makes its way to the streaming platform as a bit of a hidden gem.
While it was snapped up by Netflix in the US from the start, in the UK Maria was distributed by StudioCanal as part of a wider distribution deal for the film across Europe.
It was released in US cinemas in late November 2024 before hitting Netflix there on December 11, while UK fans had to wait until January 10 to see it on the big screen – and until now for it to land on Netflix.
