Gloria Ratings & Reviews
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...familiar yet workable subject matter that is, for the most part, employed to underwhelming and uninvolving effect...
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The plot is a paranoid endgame in which the ubiquitous Mafia, in the know about everything before it happens, is the instrument of terminal destiny and running from death is as absurd as waiting for it.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's an obvious setup and most directors would have made sentimental hash out of it, but Cassavetes keeps it strong and smooth, and Rowlands was nominated for an Oscar for her trouble.
Variety
Variety Staff
Gena Rowlands is excellent as the tired woman who decides to take her chances for the boy. The kid is a right blend of understanding and childish tantrums.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
John Cassavetes clearly set out to make a commercial film, but, intransigent personality that he was, he turned in a slice of pure avant-garde.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Any Cassavetes is worthwhile viewing
New York Times
Vincent Canby
More than any other recent film I can think of, Gloria is a movie that depends on the mood you're in when you see it.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
One of Cassavetes' most accessible and involving movies.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
John Cassavetes made some iffy movies during his career, but none is worse than the original Gloria.
PopMatters
Chris Robe
More intriguing than a standard Hollywood gangster movie.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
Indie godfather John Cassavetes transforms Gena Rowlands into his own little Pam Grier in this oddly sweet-and-sour, PG-rated mob melodrama.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Gloria boasts a tough and tender performance by Gina Rowlands as an ex-gun moll and showgirl whose nurturing instincts come to the fore when she is called upon to protect a little boy in jeopardy.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
A reasonably entertaining and refreshingly off-beat action/drama.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
[Gloria] is fun and engaging but slight. What saves this movie is Cassavetes' reliance on a tried-and-true plot construction.
