Critics Consensus

Uneven yet engaging, The Glorias honors the work of a pivotal American activist without quite capturing her trailblazing spirit.

If all this sounds like a rattle-through, it is, however inventive and thoughtful.

Rated: 3/5

Crooked Marquee

[Julie] Taymor's film doesn't proffer a biography of a real person; instead, this feels like the deified version, which shortchanges [Gloria] Steinem, her human story, and everyone she has inspired along the way.

Rated: C

Rolling Stone

These moments don't really work, but the idea behind them resonates. The movie feels like a conversation a dreaming Gloria Steinem might be having with herself, about herself.

Rated: 3/5

Keith & the Movies

The film ends up being so interested in showing Steinem’s days as a feminist icon that it often forgets the human element. And it stays away from any of her complexities and controversies leaving us with a fairly one-dimensional portrayal.

Rated: 2/5

At nearly 2.5 hours, the film could've been shorn a bit, but it's a worthy tribute to an iconic woman's extraordinary life.

Julie Taymor's gift for visual storytelling works as both literal and metaphoric depiction of Gloria Steinem's extraordinary life.

After seeing this movie for my first time in 2025, and then reading the reviews here, it’s fair to say this movie is more important than ever, right now. I’m especially surprised by some of the remarks left by women. How quickly we forget recent history. I encourage every female to watch this immediately, as a reminder. Your rights are not a guarantee. Nobody gave them to you. Your opinion would be mute, if not for the women before you, who fought you to have one. In this short two months, we are close to being set back 50 years of progress for females. I highly recommend every female young and old watch this biopic piece of history. I’m horrified by many of the reviews, but isn’t it nice to have the rights, to submit one, without being anonymous?

Of no interest at all - this can only relate to half the population - I don't care about the subject matter.

Vikander is a fav - but her portrayal of Steinem is borderline nauseating in The Glorias. Apart from Steinem being gross, the movie itself isn't terrible, but it's all over the place (ie animated segments)

Filme bom. Aborda tema de extrema relevância na sociedade moderna (XXI), igualdade de gênero + lutas sociais. Na minha visão (não profissional), pesaram um pouco a mão nas dinâmicas de flashback e diálogos entre Glórias, o que não chega a arranhar a narrativa como obra. Recomendo!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

The acting is good the story worthy of a film, but the script seemed rushed and never quite came together.
