“Gloria Bell” stars Julianne Moore and John Torturro in
the English version of Sebastian
Lelio’s Chilean film entitled “Gloria” which,, like “Gloria
Bell”, he also wrote and directed. This film, but for the language and locale
is the same film as “Gloria” so American audiences can now see it absent
subtitles and with a new leading lady. This is the big difference because
although similar in almost all other respects, Ms. Moore dominates this film as
only great and talented actresses can. Superficial and non-dimensional, the
story is light and thin but what Ms. Moore does with the material makes it a
worthwhile theatrical experience.. It’s hard to imagine this movie without her
and, as a result, I give the film 3 stars.
