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.

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)
