79. Gloria Bell (2019) Film Review

The 79th film in the A24 catalog is Gloria Bell starring Julianne Moore. Gloria Bell is a remake from a 2013 Chilean film named "Gloria," and is about a middle-aged divorcee at a transition period in her life. Gloria meets a man named Arnold (portrayed by John Turturro) at a modern 70s disco bar. This new love interest seems to have promise, before Gloria starts noticing his kids control his life, while Gloria is navigating her own relationship with her kids. Directed by Sebastian Lelio, the same filmmaker who directed the Chilean movie, the A24 rocks crew debates if the film is "too slice of life" and if the remake was worth making only 6 years later. Caution: movie spoilers.
