Most lawyers are content to fight their battles far from the public eye. Gloria Allred isn't like most lawyers. Go to Full Review
Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times 02/08/2018
The film allows us, at least to a certain extent, to get behind the public persona to the private person. Go to Full Review
April Wolfe TheWrap 02/08/2018
As the directors dive into Allred's historical reasoning for holding press conferences, we see a fuller picture of the woman and the necessity for airing grievances in public. Go to Full Review

Seeing Allred aims to humanize one of the polarizing figures in recent memory by showing us where she came from and where she gets her drive. Go to Full Review

The most striking parts of the movie depict Allred's impeccable, downright admirable composure in every combative situation in which she finds herself-and, as Seeing Allred makes clear, there have been many. Go to Full Review

Ella W @ellawyatt 6d The impact of refusing to stay silent in the battle against injustice. Seeing Allred was a film that I found incredibly meaningful because it highlighted the lifelong commitment to fighting for women's rights and justice of Gloria Allred. The film showcased how she continuously represents survivors of sexual violence, injustice, and discrimination, even when she is criticized or pushed into controversy in the media. Overall, the film inspired me by highlighting the power of persistence and the amount of courage it takes to advocate for others in the face of injustice. See more Shoshana S @shoshana.scott 6d The documentary "Seeing Allred", was an extremely enticing, exciting and real film, following the daily life of Gloria Allred and her impact on women. It's a compelling and thought provoking documentary that shows a lot of emotional depth into a celebrity who is made fun of because she is tough in the media. The interviews with clients,and Allred herself help paint a picture of someone who has a relentless sense of justice and wants her clients to be safe and supported. It was an intense film but I would highly recommend. See more Ella X @ellaxu 6d Especially with the controversy surrounding her, this documentary has opened my eyes to Gloria Allred and how inspiring she is. She believes that remaining complicit is like a betrayal of the other people who have been through similar experiences, and her duty to speak for those people is very admirable. I like the way the filmmakers structured the documentary as if we were the ones slowly uncovering and discovering more about her cases in real time. See more Tiki S @tikismith 6d Inspiring, tense, and emotional. This documentary follows Gloria Allred as she puts together a case against Bill Cosby and Donald Trump, two very powerful men in the US. Her tenacity and persistence are inspiring and disheartening as we watch the struggle to get justice often turn out to be fruitless. See more Allie F @allie4k 6d This documentary provides a look into who Gloria Allred is and what exactly she fights for. It provides a lot of interesting information on her upbringing, as well as why she has presented herself in the media in a very strong way. This documentary also comments on many relevant issues involving women today, and I feel it is very informative in discussing how people like Gloria Allred have chosen to fight back in a more public way. See more Reese P @reeseeatspeople 6d This film is exceptionally moving, able to convey both who Gloria Allred is as a person and the depth of the cases she takes on. For every upsetting, horrific tale of assault told by both Gloria and her clients there is a powerful, hopeful, and motivating lesson that comes out of it. Yes, the film can be hard to watch at times due to the nature of the stories told, but it is absolutely worth your time. See more Read all reviews
