Gloria (15)
Directed by Sebastiano Lelio
Five stars
A delightful surprise at this year’s Berlin Film Festival, Sebastian Lelio’s tragicomedy tells the story of 58-year-old divorcee Gloria who is determined to challenge her advancing years and loneliness.
During the day, she is a great mother of two grown-up kids and an impeccable secretary. But at night, dressed up, she goes to singles parties in the hope of finding a companion to love.
