Gloria Allred : L'avocate des Femmes

This documentary explores Allred's many supporters and detractors alike. It is an honest portrayal of an attorney who has made it her life's work to support those who have been wronged by society.

Incredible film. Saw it at Sundance and the audience jumped to their feet in a standing ovation when it ended. Not to be missed.

Absolutely fantastic documentary. Showing the truth, not the media bias, behind this woman's remarkable story. If this does not resonate or appeal to you in some way, I can't help but question your agenda, or even heart and mind. Someone who fights for truth, humanity and justice in the way Gloria Allred does, all while being continually misrepresented and misinterpreted, deserves your utmost attention and this film brings you a golden opportunity to really 'see' Allred for who really she is and exactly what she stands for.

The idea that she is a woman who does what she does to only pursue fame and money is complete propaganda and nonsense - anyone who falls for such fallacy is surely small-minded and fearful of what she stands for. She is an activist. And a brilliant one at that.

Far too reverential a treatment for one of the most monstrous people in American public life, a rabid ideologue grown wealthy and famous through the exploitation of the real and imagined suffering of others.

The film is well made in every department but asks none of the difficult questions you'd want to see asked, never once scratching the surface, accepting the narrative and worldview presented by Allred as the only one possible, and so ends up being little more than a journalistic puff piece and largely pointless. The only questioning voices came from three-second long clips of Allred's cartoon depictions in The Simpsons and South Park.

In 2018, the presentation of oneself as a victim is the surest path to power, money, and fawning adoration, and Allred has this down herself impeccably. But both on an individual and societal level, this is a terrible way to live, and the identity politics she is ticking the boxes of at every opportunity throughout this documentary is eating away at both our culture and our future like a cancer.

There is a great documentary waiting to be made addressing the hysteria and insanity western society is presently consumed by, and the role played by Allred and her ilk in both initiating and exacerbating that hysteria, but this sadly is not it.

2/10/18. Watch this. At this time in American history, we all need to be reminded that women like Gloria Allred made it possible for women to be believed and heard and have their day in court. She grew up in a time when women had very little say if something terrible should happen to them. That is the reason why women who were sexually harassed and assaulted never spoke up or reported what happened to them. In this era of #MeToo #TimesUp women and men as well have been empowered to speak up, not just "their" truth, but the truth of horrendous behaviors that left them less of a person. Allred lived through it all, from leaving a marriage to a bipolar man, to being a single mother, then getting raped on a date, getting pregnant and almost dying from a back alley abortion. She took these experiences and made it her mission to make sure women who went through what she went through would be heard, believed and have their day in court. It is people like Allred who made it possible to level the playing field that allowed women to speak up and reveal secrets that have damaged their mental health and lives. Thanks to her, women can finally say #MeToo and #TimesUp. Thank you, Gloria Allred. We need more women like you!

The tone of reverence for Allred lost me 30 minutes in... she's a monster.
