Review of Gloria Bell (2019) by Bhbarry — 09 Mar 2019

“Gloria Bell” stars Julianne Moore and John Torturro in the English version of Sebastian.

Lelio’s Chilean film entitled “Gloria” which,, like “Gloria Bell”, he also wrote and directed. This film, but for the language and locale is the same film as “Gloria” so American audiences can now see it absent subtitles and with a new leading lady. This is the big difference because although similar in almost all other respects, Ms. Moore dominates this film as only great and talented actresses can. Superficial and non-dimensional, the story is light and thin but what Ms. Moore does with the material makes it a worthwhile theatrical experience.. It’s hard to imagine this movie without her and, as a result, I give the film a rating of 7.
