Jolie, Natalie Portman and Kristen Stewart also weigh in on their experiences working with the director on his trilogy about Maria Callas, Jackie Kennedy and Princess Diana.

Maria,” despite being occasionally slow, is a weird, good movie. It tells the story of the last days of opera singer Maria Callas, by any measure one of the greatest voices of the 20th century. The film is director Pablo Larrain’s third about a dead female icon — the first was the disastrous “Jackie” (about Jackie Kennedy) and the second was the even-worse “Spencer” (about Princess Diana).
