What to Know

Critics Consensus

Free of visual or narrative embellishments, Gloria Bell rests almost completely on Julianne Moore's performance in the title role -- and she's gloriously up to the task.

Gloria Bell | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) [Julianne Moore] is always terrific, but she gives an especially terrific, well-rounded performance here. It's nuanced, vulnerable, strong, funny, emotionally rich and textured. Sep 20, 2019 Full Review Gloria Bell | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review A well-observed, good character study, although something that you may have seen before. Jun 17, 2019 Full Review Gloria Bell | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Adam White Independent (UK) Gloria Bell is somewhat exhausting - both unbearably intimate and at a constant remove - but it is endlessly pulled back into focus by Moore. Rated: 4/5 Jun 11, 2019 Full Review Gloria Bell | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Ryan McQuade InSession Film Gloria Bell deserved much more happiness behind the camera and on the page to make this something truly worth dancing for. Rated: C- Apr 4, 2024 Full Review Gloria Bell | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Paul Kanieski KSQD Community Radio Gloria Bell succeeds as an empathetic look at middle age with all of its accompanying trials, not least of which is the challenge of finding a worthy partner whose baggage doesn’t outweigh our own. Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Gloria Bell | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Julianne Moore has the kind of talent and charm that makes you forget Gloria Bell is a remake.

Efrem M Good performances, ok casting, abysmal script. Could have been much better. It just needed a completely different approach and a better structured script. It was obviously going for a “Lost in translation” kind of vibe but didn’t get anywhere close. Not even remotely. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/20/24 Full Review Andrew H Julianne Moore gave an unparalleled performance that was the heart and soul of the movie. I was left wondering if this was because of the director or the actress, or both? In any case, purely outstanding work. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review KB B It started out really interesting but the last quarter and ending was just mediocre. Watch if there's nothing else on. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Georgan G Gloria is working on having a life despite dysfunctional relationships with her ex & a new relationship is only legally divorced. Julianne Moore carries the movie, but supporting actors also shine. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review betty p One of the worst movies I've seen yet. What a waste of my time Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/29/24 Full Review Jeff M This American remake of the 2013 Spanish film GLORIA, helmed by the same director, came and went with little fanfare or attention. That's a shame, because Julianne Moore's truly wonderful performance deserved awards consideration. She is by far the highlight of this slice of life comedy/drama, and even when the plot begins to strain credulity a bit, Moore keeps everything anchored. She is one of the bravest actors at work today - physically and emotionally - and her performance is raw and honest. There's not much of a plot here - it's definitely a character study - but like a good meal, the more I thought about it afterwards, the more I realized how special it was. There is a plot twist 3/4 of the way through involving Turturro that I felt didn't seem realistic, but it's a minor quibble. The supporting cast is exceptional, with a couple faces I haven't seen in a long time. And the soundtrack is wonderful - everything from Earth Wind and Fire to Laura Branigan! It reminded me a bit of a film like RACHEL GETTING MARRIED in its emotional realness and character introspection - and that is high praise indeed! Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
