Watch Gloria For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Not the Gena Rowlands movie, but a very different sort of drama, this Chilean film revolves around divorced middle aged woman and her attempts to hold a steady relationship with a divorced theme park owner. Lead actress Paulina García has received much acclaim for her performance and she certainly plays a lady in her fifties as rarely seen on film; she is free-spirited, impulsive and very sexually active. Her desire not to be alone is potent, as is her ambition to go out and meet people every night as she refuses to sit idly by. Sergio Hernández as her new love interest gives the stronger performance though; as a more recent divorcée, he is still adjusting to single life and his reluctance to tell his grown children about his new girlfriend, lest he be called a "silly old man", resonates. His family life is curiously the opposite of hers as his children and ex-wife still heavily rely on him, while García has to remind her kids to call her. Whatever the case, their differences lead to some rifts and what does not balance in the film's favour is how Hernández comes off as the more likable character. García is too ready to blame him for everything that goes wrong, rarely looking inside herself and how she is the cause of some of their problems. Add an awkward, inconclusive ending into the mix and slow pacing throughout, and 'Gloria' becomes a hard film to recommend. Certainly the film has some truths to offer about fears of being alone, the inability to distance oneself from one's family and clinging onto the past, but one's mileage is likely to vary depending on how much one takes to the main character.

I enjoyed the realism of this movie and the depiction of a woman close to my age who was still very attractive despite having some flaws and showing some aging. It kept my attention the entire movie despite some slow scenes. It could have been a little peppier. I think she needed to talk more. I didn't get the sense of her children's characters either. It was hard to know what the characters were thinking or why they did certain things.To me it was disappointing that she was so insensitive to her new lover's lingering attachment to his family. Having only been recently divorced, he was understandably still close to them. I thought it was sweet the way he tried to help his children even if they were quite selfish. He was also very sweet and romantic with Gloria, and wow, there aren't that many men like that out there. In my opinion she was a complete fool to make him choose abruptly to end his previous life of so many years for someone he just met. As well she was very insensitive to him at her own family dinner. The explicit sex scenes were also kind of over the top for me with the full frontal nudity etc. I have to give her credit for being so uninhibited. She seemed very kind and strong, but at the same time kind of self-centered, so not as appealing of a character as I wanted. I liked the first half and I guess I was hoping for a happier movie overall.

Age is just a number & you're never too old to stop following what the heart desires. Gloria centres on a divorced but free-spirited old woman who is trying to beat the loneliness & old age by going to singles' parties where she meets a former naval officer with whom she becomes romantically involved with & even dreams of a permanent relationship. But things aren't really as simple as they seem on the surface which later forces Gloria to confront her own secrets.This was the Chilean entry for Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards & although it didn't impress me apart from a couple of things, there are many moments that'll make its viewers' smile. The best thing about Gloria is the character arc of Gloria herself, which is eminently illustrated on the screen by Paulina García in what is a scintillating & show- sweeping performance. The other thing I liked about it was the use of music.On an overall scale, Gloria can be viewed as a coming-of-age story set in old age & on a superficial level is simply about the celebration of life. Paulina García is definitely the best thing about this film but that doesn't mean its other aspects are a let-down by any means. The direction is fine, the script is intriguing but all these didn't really ring any bell like I was expecting it to but I do admire what it was trying to express.A good film that promises a fun ride but stumbles a little during its middle act, Gloria is by no means a great film but then by no means it's bad either. It didn't work for me but the story it has is pretty satisfactory for a mainstream audience.

The movie demands over one hour of your patience following flat, one-dimensional characters who can't manage complicated dialog as they engage in various boring vices. The audience is expected to take that as a resurgence of youth, life, and vitality. Whoever wrote the script on this one failed to understand that random sexual encounters differ from passion. Seeking sex does not equate with seeking love. And, a divorced woman is no more a heroine than a divorced man, based solely on a divorce which, in itself, constitutes yet another banal failure of love, not the triumph thereof. The expressionless visage of the movie's heroine for the duration of the show should reveal to even the most casual viewer that there is no "glory" in Gloria. When I pay for a theater admission, I expect to derive some measure of delight for that investment. Tonight, I was sorely disappointed. Finally, I cannot fathom the response of professional movie critics to this flavorless, colorless, and all around disappointing film. If a film becomes more sophisticated as the amount of enjoyment the viewer can derives decreases, then this one is first class. Otherwise, my review is on the mark.
