Gloria (2021)
10/10
Compelling drama
21 May 2022
Cecile Bois's performance as Gloria is a tour de force while still being part of an excellent ensemble cast. We leave the usual Paris for Brittany in winter for this mystery that keeps you guessing to the end. I liked Gloria immediately, including her clothes (since this seems to be an issue with other reviewers) which were stylish on her pleasantly plump figure. For all those who live their lives on Instagram, this is what a woman who has had children really looks like. Gloria is completely believable, not perfect at all, but doing the best she can in such an extreme situation. She certainly goes where angels fear to tread in her search for the truth and there are awakenings of many kinds for people involved. The female police detective examining the case is a piece of work and French social bureaucracy is something else again! Recommended unreservedly.
