- 88Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger Moore“The Vote” was on PBS’s “American Experience,” the gloriously acrid “Mrs. America” on Hulu and the sweet Helen Reddy biopic “I Am Woman” came to theaters and streaming. The Glorias rides the crest of that wave, the best project of the lot, and quite possibly the film of the year.
- 83IndieWireKate ErblandIndieWireKate ErblandA straight line could be plotted through the feature which, despite its imaginative storytelling structure, still manages to hit all of the big moments in Steinem’s life.
- 80Screen DailyTim GriersonScreen DailyTim GriersonDramatising Steinem’s life during different periods, and with different actresses, Taymor has crafted an exceedingly thoughtful portrait of a leader and the women’s movement she championed.
- 75The PlaylistThe PlaylistTaymor’s latest manages to be both a loving tribute to American trailblazer and the power of collective action to bring social change. It’s also visually vivid and unexpected, but unfortunately, fairly uneven overall.
- 75Slant MagazineDan RubinsSlant MagazineDan RubinsThe film weaves its refreshingly unpredictable web as the strands of Steinem’s life spiral around each other through snippets of scenes that work efficiently and never preachily.
- 70VarietyOwen GleibermanVarietyOwen GleibermanThe film is acted with great flair and emotional precision, and it’s been staged by Taymor with vividly detailed historical flavor, yet it tells Steinem’s story in a way that’s more wide than deep.
- 70ABC NewsPeter TraversABC NewsPeter TraversThe tragic loss of RBG, makes this biopic of women’s-rights icon Gloria Steinem more relevant than ever. It took Julianne Moore and three other actresses to play this feminist trailblazer through the ages and they all do her proud.
- 58ConsequenceClint WorthingtonConsequenceClint WorthingtonFor its unconventional structure and occasional flights of fancy, The Glorias all too often reads as a bog-standard biopic more interested in recounting history than telling a story.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyIt's a testament to the complexity of the subject and her positivity even in the face of the most culturally entrenched caveman attitudes that we come away from this flawed, chaotic film with a warm appreciation for her achievements and her indestructible generosity of spirit.
