Gloria Bell
First screened in September 2018 / Most recently screened in April 2019
Director: Sebastián Lelio. Cast: Julianne Moore, John Turturro, Caren Pistorius, Michael Cera, Brad Garrett, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Barbara Sukowa, Holland Taylor, Rita Wilson, Sean Astin, Alanna Ubach, Tyson Ritter. Screenplay: Alice Johnson Boher (adapted from the 2013 film, written and directed by Sebastián Lelio). Twitter Capsule:
I felt more worried for Moore's lonelier Gloria than for García's, giving this very close remake its own arc and tone.
Second Capsule:
Of all the movies Julianne Moore has made, Gloria Bell is the one that most feels like you're just hanging with her. So I obviously love it.
VOR:③
Hard to reward originality in a near-facsimile of a prior film, but this kind of vehicle is so rare today (and rarely done well) that it's valuable.
