Leave your thoughts about Gloria Bell.
| New York PostSara StewartSebastián Lelio’s remake of his 2013 Chilean movie “Gloria” is, indeed, a glorious celebration of Julianne Moore at her peak. |
| World of ReelJordan RuimyIt might be sacrilege to say this, but not only is this "shot for shot" remake a very good film, it's actually better than the original. |
| IndieWireEric KohnMoore’s compassionate performance confirms the strength of the original and its beloved heroine’s universal appeal. More than that, Gloria Bell proves that the best stories can be told endlessly, so long as they’re told well. |
| TheWrapSteve PondYou can love “Gloria” and still think that Gloria Bell is an admirable reimagining that stands on its own while paying tribute to the original. |
| The Hollywood ReporterStephen DaltonCrucially, like its predecessor, Gloria Bell maintains a warm but rigorously unsentimental tone despite material which could easily lend itself to mawkish sentimentality. |
| Screen InternationalAllan HunterMoore’s performance means that we are with Gloria every step of the way, sharing in the little victories and the jolting setbacks. |
| VarietyPeter DebrugeAlthough García and Moore were born in the same year (under the same sign!), Lelio is more mature now than he was when he made the original film, and he brings that experience to the project in small but crucial ways. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattMoore — vulnerable but undauntable — lives every moment in her skin, fantastic to the last glorious frame. |
| Original-CinKim HughesFor a film where relatively little happens plot-wise, Gloria Bell is oddly beguiling thanks to its leads: Moore (reliably great) embracing every square-peg aspect of her character and Turturro, whose resting look — itchy, perplexed, possibly lost — is deployed with precision in a character meant to be wildly uncomfortable in his own skin. |
| TimeStephanie ZacharekWith Gloria Bell, Lelio revisits a story he’s told before: It’s a close remake of his 2013 Spanish-language film "Gloria," starring the superb Chilean actress Paulina García. Both films are terrific, but with Gloria Bell, Lelio may have buffed out a few rough edges; the new picture feels subtler, more shimmering. |
