The Glorias

POSITIVES…

  • The life of Gloria Steinem and what she says is impressive, which helps keeps this film as engaging as it is.

  • Narrative plot device of having the different era Glorias interacting with each other in a bus is actually pretty neat.

  • Undeniably, there were some pieces of dialogue and speeches that were very powerful, and inspiring.

  • Specifically, there were some snappy lines and comebacks that were quite entertaining.

  • Excellent performances, by Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander, as well as Lulu Wilson and Ryan Kiera Armstrong.

  • Great supporting cast, which includes Timothy Hutton, Lorraine Toussaint, Janelle Monáe, Bette Midler, to Kimberly Guerrero, plus more.

  • Seeing the historical footage is great.

NEGATIVES…

  • Stylistic flourishes to the narrative and fantasy bits can feel a bit unnecessary.

  • Not exactly a fast moving film.

  • Not exactly a short film.

  • There aren’t enough moments to let the characters breath and come to life more, because a huge chunk of this movie feels like it’s just a bunch of recreated highlight reels.

  • Needles to say, there will be those who just won’t like this movie for it’s subject matter.
