The Glorias (2020)

This is an enjoyable and deeply compelling bio pic about a great American activist and her work. It is beautifully directed and well acted. It is a worthy tribute to a great champion of women's rights and thus to the rights of all.

Fmovies: I love the different stages of Gloria. Brilliant concept. I found the portrayal of Gloria to be done in a very classy way. Nothing comes easy and I am grateful for the challenges and breakthrough this great lady had the strength to fight for all of us for. Thank you for putting this on film, a truly beautiful tribute that conveys the blessings from the trials.

Unfocused but well acted; "The Glorias" pays homage to a feminist icon with a talented cast but the final product is far from being iconic.

In this drama, feminist icon Gloria Steinem recounts her itinerant childhood's influence on her life as a writer, activist and organizer for women's rights worldwide. Based on a true story.

I can appreciate director Julie Taymor's vision (except for that "Wizard Of Oz" sequence, which was a bit much), but "The Glorias" leans more on the messy side rather than being wholly empowering. However the cast is great; Julianne Moore is terrific, Alicia Vikander delivers a solid performance, but Bette Midler is the scene stealer and kicks serious ass in her role. An inspiring and interesting story but overly long and uneven.

The Glorias fmovies. I will keep this brief. Being born in 1960, I came age during the 70s. Gloria Steinem was a huge part of my life. Seeing and experiencing all the daily inequities women and girls faced while trying to navigate adolescence was not easy. I turned to Gloria Steinem and Ms. Magazine. I thank God I was born when I was and experienced her leadership. On a final note, as these comments show, many males have not grown at all, in fact they have devolved. This is unfortunate, but not surprising. Ms. Steinem is now in her 80s. I don't cry much, but I know I will cry when she leaves this earth. Great movie about a phenomenal woman.

As a woman, I am truly humbled and deeply moved by this film. I enjoyed it even more than I'd hoped. It tells the story of a fierce, bold woman's tireless work to advocate for female rights. Watching this movie, I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like for me to live in a time where I did not have (nearly) the same rights as a man. Even as a 23 year old woman living in America, I have experienced sexism and the negative impacts of a patriarchal society throughout my entire life. I have felt the consequences of being a woman in a man's world since I was a young girl; discrepancies in respect, power, rights. It is more than emotional, it is more than intellectual: my phsyical rights. So many times I have been aware of how my situation would be better, if I were simply a man. I am indebted and thankful for the hard work of Gloria Steinem and her peers for shrinking that gap. While our country and world still has progress to make, I cannot imagine the deep pain and inequalities I would face daily, had it not been for Gloria's hard work and the feminist movement. Thank you.

4.5/10 on IMDb?? Is that because anti-feminists who haven't even watched it are just giving it 1 star? I personally thought it was a great movie that told Ms Steinem's story in an honest and inspiring way without preaching or overdoing anything. Alicia Vikander delivered an amazing performance (as per usual), and so did everyone else. The only criticism I have is that it was too unnecessarily slow at times, consequently making the overall movie much longer than it needed to be. It definitely could have been shortened by 30 or even 45 minutes.
