Gloria Bell

This movie is not the worst ever. It is definitely not good, it is one of the most forgettable films ever. It won't trigger any thoughts, it doesn't have any layers, it won't trigger any conversations. The only good thing about it is the acting. But even that... is kind of forced, since the dialogue is too boring. The cinematography is also boring, the directing is boring. This is very lazy film-making. The story isn't very focused and isn't going anywhere. The side characters are puppets and the main characters evolve just barely to keep the "plot" going. The film is supposed to go on through powerful feelings, second chances, the meaning of trust, etc. but all is poorly handled. Turturro and Moore are good, but they are wasted potential since there are not many chances for them to show their true skills.

For a while this film reminded me a lot of Blue Jasmine. In that film Cate Blanchet took an otherwise-mediocre film and made it pretty good. Julianne Moore is that good - probably her best work since Far From Heaven. To be fair this film is better than that one (if nothing else the supporting cast is superior) but it certainly isn't going to be for everyone. It is definitely a character study and it requires that the audience really be patient and work for the reward. If you're the type that wants plot and story spelled out for you for easy consumption this film isn't for you. follow me at https://IHateBadMovies.com or facebook IHateBadMovies
