The Glorias

4.5/10 on IMDb?? Is that because anti-feminists who haven't even watched it are just giving it 1 star? I personally thought it was a great movie that told Ms Steinem's story in an honest and inspiring way without preaching or overdoing anything. Alicia Vikander delivered an amazing performance (as per usual), and so did everyone else. The only criticism I have is that it was too unnecessarily slow at times, consequently making the overall movie much longer than it needed to be. It definitely could have been shortened by 30 or even 45 minutes.

As a woman, I am truly humbled and deeply moved by this film. I enjoyed it even more than I'd hoped. It tells the story of a fierce, bold woman's tireless work to advocate for female rights. Watching this movie, I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like for me to live in a time where I did not have (nearly) the same rights as a man. Even as a 23 year old woman living in America, I have experienced sexism and the negative impacts of a patriarchal society throughout my entire life. I have felt the consequences of being a woman in a man's world since I was a young girl; discrepancies in respect, power, rights. It is more than emotional, it is more than intellectual: my phsyical rights. So many times I have been aware of how my situation would be better, if I were simply a man. I am indebted and thankful for the hard work of Gloria Steinem and her peers for shrinking that gap. While our country and world still has progress to make, I cannot imagine the deep pain and inequalities I would face daily, had it not been for Gloria's hard work and the feminist movement. Thank you.

I literally just finished streaming it... it was a pure delight. An exquisitely-directed (by Julie Taymor) tale of an iconic figure and those around her who had profound influence.

Kudos must also be given to Alicia Vikander, Janelle Monáe, Julianne Moore, Bette Midler, Timothy Hutton, Lorraine Toussaint and Kimberly Guerrero.

Anyone interested in the history of equality (and its long pursuit... especially in recent years) should make sure to see this one. It's a relay race! Every triumph is built upon a previous triumph.

Superb acting and an interesting story about a fascinating life. It was long but worth making it through to the end. Couldn't be more relevant than it is in this moment. Glad I watched.

An informative and inspirational biopic about the pioneering liberator Gloria Steinem. Uses four actors to innovatively chart her direction, often interacting as one, leaving you under no illusion of her significant and vital impact on the world you live in today, albeit one that still has some way to go to balance the rights of the person you choose to identify as, especially if you're not in the white middle aged man and older cult. Keep biting!
