For Callas fans, this is a winner. For others, it should at least be interesting.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
The film's portrait of the singer is indelible. The story as a whole, however, doesn't hold together, primarily because the imaginary characters and situations that surround her are so inadequately sketched.
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle
Rotten
A film that forgets to bring its central character to life.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
For all the devotion Zeffirelli professes to Callas' legacy, the script reduces her to a cartoon.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Fresh
Although the film will hold little appeal for non-opera buffs, its warmth trumps its cliches, odd casting and overacting.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
