Review of last week's film ("Gloria", 4 stars)Steven says: "Gloria" is an honest portrayal of a divorced woman navigating life and the dating scene 13 years after her first marriage ended. The film keeps an undercurrent focused on issues faced by parents of adult children, but the main story line prominently displays one woman's efforts to find fulfillment and stay true to herself.
