This movie is not the worst ever. It is definitely not good, it is one of the most forgettable films ever. It won't trigger any thoughts, it doesn't have any layers, it won't trigger any conversations. The only good thing about it is the acting. But even that... is kind of forced, since the dialogue is too boring. The cinematography is also boring, the directing is boring. This is very lazy film-making. The story isn't very focused and isn't going anywhere. The side characters are puppets and the main characters evolve just barely to keep the "plot" going. The film is supposed to go on through powerful feelings, second chances, the meaning of trust, etc. but all is poorly handled. Turturro and Moore are good, but they are wasted potential since there are not many chances for them to show their true skills.

Julianne Moore is very good. I liked watched her dance. The movie as a whole is ok. I thought it did end well.

For a while this film reminded me a lot of Blue Jasmine. In that film Cate Blanchet took an otherwise-mediocre film and made it pretty good. Julianne Moore is that good - probably her best work since Far From Heaven. To be fair this film is better than that one (if nothing else the supporting cast is superior) but it certainly isn't going to be for everyone. It is definitely a character study and it requires that the audience really be patient and work for the reward. If you're the type that wants plot and story spelled out for you for easy consumption this film isn't for you. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com or facebook IHateBadMovies

I'm not the target audience for _Gloria Bell_, but whoever is will enjoy a magnificent performance by Julianne Moore who reminds us that she is arguably the most consistent best actress working today.

Boring as my life. But that's the point.

Julianne Moore is terrific as usual, and the film itself is an effective character piece worthy of her talents.

Considering this is an A24 film with a really good cast somehow it's still skipable. This film dosen't really seem to know what it's going for and istead of having an intended message or progressive plot we just follow events that take place which can make for some of the best movies if done right but it wasn't really done right. This film does have great acting and a good cast and isn't a bad watch just it's pretty skipable most likely u won't feel any different having seen it compared to having not.

Gloria Bell is first and foremost a character study that may be too subtle and methodical for a viewer who is not in the mood for a slower paced romantic drama. The story this movie tells is similar to plots I have created in a few of the novels I have written. I think of them as "slice of life" tales. The story is taken up at a certain point and we follow along with her life with ups and downs until the script jumps out of her life. This is a subtle way of telling a story, perhaps too subtle if you are watching with friends or not in the mood for it. It is like that line from The Big Chill where the William Hurt character explains about art, that you have to let it flow over you. Watching it closely reveals subtleties, such as when Gloria stops singing in her car, and then has to reclaim her joy. I will admit that sometimes the movie focuses on something too mundane, like her brushing her teeth, or that it leaves out too much, such as what happens to her at the Las Vegas hotel when she is on her own. If you haven't yet watched this movie, be patient and pay attention. There is a story worth watching here, even without violence, explosions or temper tantrums.
