    “You never would have been born.” It took four actresses to play Gloria Steinem over the years. While the film was about an engaging figure and it had a decent story and was made by a competent filmmaker (Julie Taymor), I will gladly point out what worked and what…

    Gloria Steinem deserves much better than this movie. At first I thought it was gonna be narratively weird but speak to the impact she had on people. Something similar to Todd Hayne's I'M NOT HERE. In the first couple minutes I thought like 50 different actors were gonna…

    A biopic about Gloria Steinem, And a long runtime for those that don't mind 'em. Through "Life on the Road", The activists showed, If there is injustice, then Glorias will find 'em.

    A swing and a miss for me. Taymor’s approach is so ambitious, but despite the more impressionistic sequences, The Glorias is largely your standard biopic with some confusing editing. The film is linear in that we go from young Gloria to contemporary Gloria, and yet there’s…

The key performances are strong, but director/co-writer Julie Taymor's movie meanders too much, dragging through the beginning and again toward the end.

Without any movie-specific spoilers, it’s hard not to be moved and inspired when you reach the end of the film and realize after everything Steinem and the other pioneering feminists of her day have done to advance the position of women in society, there is still much more work to do.
