The central lead of acclaimed Chilean director Sebastián Lelio’s exquisite drama is not a tragic figure. She’s a woman who lives, loves, and continues to do so despite many setbacks. - NBCLatino

March 5, 2019, 8:06 PM GMTStanding alone at the bar among a sea of dancing couples, Gloria Bell looks radiant. She’s illuminated by the club’s multicolor lights as she reaches through the crowd for a dance partner. She finds one for a time, but once the music’s done and the dancing’s over, she comes home alone. As a divorcée in her 50s, this seems to be her routine but that doesn’t stop her from having fun.

But"Gloria Bell" is Lelio's own remake of his original 2013 Chilean film"Gloria." In the new movie, the setting shifts from Santiago to Los Angeles, with Moore in the role that actress Paulina García forged with a sympathetic performance. “It’s an exploration of a woman's life. It's a way to take a lens to an ordinary woman's life, to really see who she is, and to watch her in all the minutia of her day," Moore saidThe two movies,"Gloria" and"Gloria Bell," are twin versions of almost the same script and sometimes mirrored copies of the same shot, but where they differ is in the films' acting styles.

Much of Moore’s performance happens in her facial expressions, the way she holds her body or how her shoulders drop when her defenses are down. And though Moore embodies her character’s internal conflict without words, the audience can see there’s so much life behind her eyes. She can show Gloria’s pain even as she shakes her head and says she’s fine.Turturro is the bigger heartbreaker of his character's two versions.
