Drama An equal rights crusader, journalist and activist: Gloria Steinem embodies these and more. From her role in the revolutionary women’s rights movement to her travels throughout the U.S. and around the world, Steinem has made an everlasting mark on modern history. A nontraditional chronicle of a trailblazing life.

	Media	Author	Review
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A timely yet rousingly conventional look at the legendary feminist leader (...) the traditional approach taken by Taymor works fine "
		Kate Erbland IndieWire	"A creative, rich biopic that doesn't give a hoot about convention (...) Vikander’s performance is arguably the meatiest"
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"Threaded throughout with stylistic extravagances that can feel intrusive, the film is most exciting when its dramatic scenes are intercut with archival footage"
		Adam Chitwood Collider	"[It] is ultimately a triumphant and insightful story about how a young girl became a feminist."
		Peter Travers ABC News	"Taymor has a tendency to rush ahead when we most want her to slow down and let us delve deeper into the life of this feminist (...) But that’s a minor flaw in the face of the euphoria that comes from watching these women in action."
		Dan Mecca The Film Stage	"As it stands, the film gets the job done. Gloria Steinem deserves to be discussed and admired."
		Adrian Horton The Guardian	"Julie Taymor’s film on the multiple life stages of the defining feminist turns what should be a fascinating character study into an embarrassing disaster (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The Glorias still falls prey to the problem of making a movie out of a life far too vast for a movie (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
