5.0 out of 5 stars the best film of all time - possibly, 18 Oct 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Gloria [VHS] [1980] (VHS Tape)
Is this the best thriller ever made or just the best film of all time? Pacy, gritty, nasty, touching and profound - and that's just Gena Rowland as glorious .. Gloria. The kid is her pefect screen partner. The score is magnificent. Cassavettes' work surely deserves wider recognition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action packed from start to finish, 20 May 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Gloria [VHS] [1980] (VHS Tape)
This is one of my favourite films of all time. Gena Rowlands is superb as the central character - gritty and sexy and totally believable. The camera work is also good - how many film images can you still remember years after you saw the picture? No £2m stunt budget; no car chases, no steamy sex scenes - just a fast-paced action thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gena Rowlands is simply glorious!, 15 Aug 2003

This review is from: Gloria [VHS] [1980] (VHS Tape)
What an awesome film! John Cassavetes is a true genius with all the films he has made but Gloria is the best film he has made and my personal favourite. He captures so well the unlikely alliance between a six year old Puerto Rican boy whose family has been killed by the mob and an ex gangster's moll. Gena Rowlands is brilliant as the 'former gangster's moll whose life is turned upside down by her young friend and who develops a maternal instinct for the child she becomes close to and eventually loves.This thriller is exciting as you feel the adrenaline rush and your heart pound as Gloria and her charge tear through the streets of New York to a life of safety and anonymity away from the murderous mob on their trail. Buck Henry is super as the sharp, sassy six year old. I'm glad that John Cassavetes is finally getting the respect he deserves as a film-maker after his death because he made it possible for many film-makers to realise their dream especially if it did not conform to the Hollywood studios perception of how films should be made.Everyone should see this gem from John Cassavetes and Gloria is one of the best female characters in film history.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the very best in the Gangster genre
Gloria remains one of director John Cassavetes most accessable films. It is also his most commercially successful, being one of 1980's biggest hits at the Box Office... Read more
