Review of Gloria Bell (2019) by Dawdlingpoet — 02 Mar 2022
This is a somewhat subtle and understated film about a middle aged woman living in the LA, who expresses herself via visits to the local dance/nights clubs, which lead to a number of relationships. It may make you think about how society judges and reacts to people who don't have too much to tie themselves down to.
It features a good performance from Julianne Moore as the titular character and I enjoyed the music played in certain scenes - there are some decent disco tunes played, for one. I think this film is good from a feminist point of view, depicting a woman who is quite determined to live life her way.
It seemed perhaps a little slow plot wise and possibly somewhat directionless maybe, though that may be being a bit harsh but otherwise I would gladly recommend this film. I think it's good that Hollywood are depicting such tales.
