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.

Claudia Puig FilmWeek (LAist) 09/20/2019
[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. Go to Full Review
Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review 06/17/2019
A well-observed, good character study, although something that you may have seen before. Go to Full Review
Adam White Independent (UK) 06/11/2019
4/5
Gloria Bell is somewhat exhausting - both unbearably intimate and at a constant remove - but it is endlessly pulled back into focus by Moore. Go to Full Review

Gloria Bell deserved much more happiness behind the camera and on the page to make this something truly worth dancing for. Go to Full Review
Paul Kanieski KSQD Community Radio 07/24/2023
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. Go to Full Review

Julianne Moore has the kind of talent and charm that makes you forget Gloria Bell is a remake. Go to Full Review

alan g @agenser May 23 All star cast severely miscast. Just another cougar movie. See more Enrique P @therealenriquep Dec 16 Goes to show you how little audience scores really mean anything. These reviews from the audience is so wack. Julianne Moore delivered so well in this American version of this Chilean movie by the same director and man did she do amazing or what? Yes, she did. It's a cute lovely and feel good movie. You come to this movie for Julianne Moore as Gloria and the whole movie was about her and trying to navigate her life post divorce and trying to find her way and place in this world. Moore gave an all time performance through and through. Music choice was perfect and the emotions. Beautiful. See more Ray A Dec 14 We walked out...enough said. Oh yeah, Julianne Moore topless, gross! See more Kyle M 10/20/2024 Even without the original’s momentary accessibility, Julianne Moore expectedly shines, as well John Turturro in problematic gravitas form, in the self-made, visually-translated remake seemingly geared radiative capture than fleshing the story with captivated engagement – unless the thematic lengths are based towards an empathetically reflective demographic. (B) See more Sharon D 10/06/2024 Anyone who manages to slog through a movie as boring and emotionless as this could at least be rewarded with a happy ending, but alas no. The music and blurred cinematography further detract from the experience. See more Efrem M 05/20/2024 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.
