Gloria is a 2013 Chilean-Spanish drama film about a divorced woman whose children are grown and independent. She's looking for romance. I've forgotten now how I came across it. It showed up in a list of films recommended for one reason or another, I imagine. It won some awards and is well-reviewed. I watched it on HBO Max, but it's also available on Amazon Prime.
trailer:
Paste Magazine opens with this: "Gloria is such a lovely, simple story that it’s amazing (or depressing) that we don’t see more of its kind." The LA Times calls it "near-perfect" in their glowing review. Roger Ebert's site has a 4-star review that opens, "Gloria, "Gloria" —hallelujah! Your truth has marched its way into my heart." It has a 99% critics consensus rating at Rotten Tomatoes.

Delete....the only Gloria that I remember is Van Morrison song!
ReplyDeleteI remember that song from back in the 60s :)
DeleteThis looks wonderful and refreshing!
ReplyDeleteIt was :)
DeleteThere are several movies with the title of "Gloria" I saw this on HBO but couldnt get through it. My favorite movie with the same title is the 1980 "Gloria" with Gena Rowlands and John Adames.
ReplyDeleteI googled, and that's quite a different movie lol I haven't seen the 1980 film and it's not currently streaming on a service I use. I'll keep an eye out for it, thanks!
DeleteSounds like a good movie to bookmark when Himself isn't around
ReplyDeleteI watched it by myself, too.
