Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
Cassavetes may have thought Gloria was nothing more than commercial trash, but what he did instead was take trash and turn it into art.

From the Front Row
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.

New Yorker
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.

Any Cassavetes is worthwhile viewing
Kansas City Kansan
The ability to confer a rare tension to images that at first hand seem ordinary is the main proof of John Cassavetes' talent. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Cassavetes was always at his best when he was making raw and uncompromising indies (e.g. Faces, Shadows), and he was invariably always less interesting when he tried to guess what general audiences wanted to see (like here).

Creative Loafing

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.
