I thought like many others, that most of the bad reviews were from backwards misogynists, I wish I was right.
The movie's cast is impeccable and give really strong performances but it seems the film makers were pre-occupied with making a movie with "artistic integrity", rather than telling Gloria's story. Her life is so fascinating and impressive that a straightforward chronological movie would not only sufficed but barely scraped the surface of her life. This movie gave the surface a glance
The biggest let-down is that watching a three minute clip of Gloria talking about Marilyn Monroe gave me more insight to who she is as a person, than spending two and a half hours watching a movie about her life
This is such a missed opportunity and I hope someone will be able to make a movie that does Gloria's life story justice
