Gloria

Chilean writer and director Sebastián Lelio delivered a terrific character study with this powerful film. A middle-aged woman tries to defy old age and loneliness as she searches for love and connection in an unforgiving world. Lelio shows extraordinary maturity with a subject rarely explored in cinema by blending comedy and drama seamlessly. Paulina García stars with a flawless performance that's the heart and soul of this gem. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
