Gloria (**3/4) [screening]

Gloria (Paulina García) is divorced woman in her 50s who likes to sing old songs and dance to old disco music in clubs in Santiago. She meets a man there who seems kind, if too involved in the lives of his adult daughters and ex-wife. This sympathetic portrait of a woman trying to make a life for herself eventually coalesces into a story, but as Gloria’s life is fairly ordinary and the script doesn’t offer any great insights into middle-aged womanhood, it’s slow going until the central conflict finally arrives.
