What to Know

Critics Consensus

Free of visual or narrative embellishments, Gloria Bell rests almost completely on Julianne Moore's performance in the title role -- and she's gloriously up to the task.

Claudia Puig FilmWeek (LAist) Sep 20, 2019
[Julianne Moore] is always terrific, but she gives an especially terrific, well-rounded performance here. It's nuanced, vulnerable, strong, funny, emotionally rich and textured. Go to Full Review
Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review Jun 17, 2019
A well-observed, good character study, although something that you may have seen before. Go to Full Review
Adam White Independent (UK) Jun 11, 2019
4/5
Gloria Bell is somewhat exhausting - both unbearably intimate and at a constant remove - but it is endlessly pulled back into focus by Moore. Go to Full Review

Gloria Bell deserved much more happiness behind the camera and on the page to make this something truly worth dancing for. Go to Full Review
Paul Kanieski KSQD Community Radio Jul 24, 2023
Gloria Bell succeeds as an empathetic look at middle age with all of its accompanying trials, not least of which is the challenge of finding a worthy partner whose baggage doesn’t outweigh our own. Go to Full Review

4/4
Julianne Moore has the kind of talent and charm that makes you forget Gloria Bell is a remake. Go to Full Review

Han S Apr 26, 2019 This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Boring storyline - wait, was there a storyline? Zero chemistry between JM and JT. Acted like they were the last two single people living - desperate! The best part was when she pummeled JT with the paint ball gun. Should have started the movie with that scene. See more
Apr 25, 2019 This has to be the worst movie I've ever seen. Story line wandered all over the place and did not do justice to single women or me with the challenges they face. Julianna must have been out of her mind making this movie. See more
Albus S Apr 23, 2019 Horrible waste of time and $9. No point to the story line. Everyone walked out grumbling!
Apr 23, 2019 I kept waiting for some kind of redemption but eventually just had to admit I hated every character and just didn't care anymore See more
Hagrid S Apr 21, 2019 Channeling Diane Keaton In what appears to be a vanity movie, Julieanne Moore plays a vacuous middle-aged woman in a harmless suburban update to Looking for Mr. Goodbar. In what could have been titled, Gratuitous Gloria Bell, we see fits of Diane Keatons compulsive neurotic laughing punctuated by sips of wine, romantic pursuit without any agenda, cliche mothering, and music accompaniment that seems so irrelevant to the scene as to appear random. My move companion speculated that John Turturro must have really needed the money. See more
George S Apr 21, 2019 The movie was tedious, boring and much of it made no sense. Only 5 people in theater for a Saturday afternoon. Must be word of mouth. Julianne Moore is great but the movie is depressing. See more
