Click Here To Watch Gloria (2013)

Review

I had a MAJOR problem with this film from the very first scene . Gloria is a dead ringer for Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie . She looked not so bad without her big glasses and makeup....but for half of the film I expected her to rip a wig off and reveal she was a man ! Gloria totally dominates the film (I cant think of a scene where she isn't in shot)and she was deserving of all the favourable reviews . However the tale of a middle aged woman searching for love in this way was a little too far fetched for me....and her "last chance" with a man who looked old enough to be her grandfather just didn't sit right . I was also a little uncomfortable with the fairly graphic sex scenes which I thought were not very tasteful as opposed to for instance the scenes in Blue is the Warmest Colour (which I saw the night before)
