 Spirituality & Health: Movie Review: Gloria   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Witness the diversity of her performances in Minnie and Moskowitz, A Woman Under the Influence, and in the TV movies "A Question of Love" and "Strangers: The story of a Mother and Daughter." In this film by her husband John Cassavetes, she is a survivor with a sordid past in the world of crime.
Gloria has little use for children, and Phil has been tutored by his father in the Latin macho ethic.
Even more involving is the developing relationship between Gloria and Phi, who are compelled by circumstances to become "family." Gloria's feisty spirit is incredible, especially when she visits the head of the syndicate (who was once her lover).

 Movie Review - Gloria (1999) - eFilmCritic
Gloria is a supposedly heartwearming movie, with a little bit of shooting, and a little bit of cursing, and a little bit of really bad accents.
When poor Gloria goes to see this guy (played by Jeremy Northam) she discovers that not only has he remodeled her apartment, the only way she's going to get that money is if she lets him take care of her.
Gloria spends most of her time yelling at the boy, who has a tendency to yell right back using epithets that seem very disconcerting when emitted by a seven year old.

 Gloria
Gloria starts at a Florida prison where Gloria, played by Stone, is being released after three years in the slammer.
So now Gloria arrives to find out there will be no money, and needless to say she gets pissed, robs the mobsters, frees the kid from impending execution, and gets herself in hornets nest by accident.
Scott's role is small, in fact most of the movie deals with the interaction of Gloria and the kid and how dealing with a smart ass kid melts the heart of the street tough Gloria, who apparently was once a hooker.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Gloria | Deseret Morning News Web edition
Instead, "Gloria" is just dull, with endless scenes of people flying from place to place or driving from place to place or, most agonizingly, walking from place to place.
And the movie is willing to overlook a number of inconvenient obstacles to Gloria and the kid living happily ever after, including at least two murders, a lack of cash/job skills and Gloria's alarming fondness for platform heels.
But, at rock bottom, his movies have always had a genuine feel for life in New York, and even that is missing in "Gloria," which would have us believe that it's possible to walk up to a New York pay phone and find a phone book still attached to it.

 Salon Entertainment | Gloria
But while the bodegas and tenements and tourist hotels are meant to add some grit, you might be wondering why Gloria spends her time dragging Nicky around Manhattan when that's where the mob is looking for them, and when she has the money to get them out of town.
His ability to juice his movies with the energy of his actors, a quality that once allowed his films to overcome their raggedness, hasn't been present in his movies in years.
Stone does have some of the charisma and glamour of movie stars from the '40s and '50s, but that glamour seems false when she's put into roles that are retreads of movie icons from those eras.

 All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: Gloria
To be sure, "Gloria" begins with a stirring, rather poignant prologue in which a seven-year-old boy's family is brutally gunned down by mobsters, in search of a disc his father had with incriminating evidence on it.
The previous incarnation of "Gloria" by Cassavetes and starring the luminous Gena Rowlands, remains unseen by me, but was no doubt superior, even though I can't really imagine how this considerably dull story could be transformed into an entertaining one, regardless of the director or stars.
I liked, for example, a very funny climactic sequence where Gloria is deciding whether to leave the school she has left the boy at, and keeps turning the car around, then driving a little ways, then slamming on the brakes and turning around again.

 Review: Gloria (1999)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
His latest project, Gloria, is a remake of a 1980 John Cassavetes film, and it does nothing to revive Lumet's sinking reputation.
Gloria tells a familiar story: how an orphaned boy and a lonely woman thrown together by fate grow to love and respect one another.
The only somewhat atypical aspect of Gloria is that, instead of tackling the subject from a purely melodramatic perspective, it incorporates elements of a routine thriller: car chases, gunplay, and violent deaths.

 Gloria Movie Review
"Gloria" is a lot like "Guys and Dolls," one of the great musicals ever produced on Broadway, a hit that captures the characters andthe vernacular of its thoroughly urban Damon Runyon characters.
Sharon Stone inhabits the role of Gloria, just out of a three- year term in a Miami prison for taking the rap for her gangster boy friend, Kevin (Jeremy Northam).
"Gloria" is a surprisingly uneventful movie, not the sort of drama you'd expect from Lumet who has riveted us in the past with intense, resonant productions like "The Pawnbroker," "Dog Day Afternoon," and "Serpico.

Gloria, the penultimate film from fiercely independent Cassavetes resulted in a Best Actress nomination at the Oscars for his wife and star Rowlands.
But when her Mafia accountant neighbour and wife are executed by the Mob, she determines to take charge of their young son, played by John Adames, who's marked as the only witness to the killings.
Essentially a thrilling action adventure in which the pair attempt to escape the hit-men, Gloria is elevated from the usual John Grisham fare by the much-lauded character analysis that Cassavetes brings to the proceedings.
