Gloria Bell

In 2013, Chilean filmmaker Sebastian Lelio directed the Oscar-nominated drama Gloria about a 58-year-old divorcee embracing life after her family has flown the nest. He helms this English language remake co-written by Alice Johnson Boher, which transplants the soul-searching to the bright lights of Los Angeles. Now her son Peter (Michael Cera) and daughter Anne (Caren Pistorius) are grown up, and her ex-husband Dustin (Brad Garrett) has a new wife (Jeanne Tripplehorn), Gloria Bell (Julianne Moore) decides to actively search for romantic diversions. She merrily throws herself onto dancefloors of the city's nightclubs, lost in the music of her youth. During one of these dalliances, she meets paintball instructor Arnold (John Turturro) and unexpectedly they begin to date. Gloria introduces Arnold to her friends and loved ones including her mother Hillary (Holland Taylor) but her close relationship with Dustin could be a cause for concern for Arnold. He reacts oddly, disappearing in the middle of an important gathering, and Gloria questions if he deserves to win her fragile heart.
