Only a heart of stone could not fall in love with Chilean director Sebastián Lelio’s Gloria. An utterly charming heartfelt tale of a 58-year-old divorcee who heads into the singles party world to find love again.Her children have flown the nest long ago, her daughter is a yoga teacher who has fallen in love with a dashing Swedish mountain climber and her son has just had his first child. Heading into the world of divorcees and middle-aged singles she weekly puts on her glad-rags and hits the dance floor to go get jiggy with more senior hombres, only to head home stumbling on her heels on the way back to her flat, which is constantly invaded by her most regular visitor: a hairless, slightly freaky-looking sphynx cat. Then she meets Rodolfo (Sergio Hernandez), a kindly looking adventure park owner, who looks like he can put that spark of love back into her life.

This is the third feature from Lelio, who creates an instantly likeable tragicomedy, where from the first scene the bespectacled Gloria wins audiences over with her zest for life tinged with a touch of melancholy. Paulina Garcia’s performance sparkles, giving the free-spirited chica, with more than a little flair for comedy, a tragicomic quality.The comedy switches between peppy and socially awkward, good-natured humour all accompanied by a bopping Latin pop soundtrack. Gloria smokes weed, hangs out with her children and friends, struts her stuff and is generally fun time girl all in the effort to get through what is essentially a mid-life crisis. This whips up the right level of sympathy. Once the relationship with Rodolfo is in full swing this level of compassion only increases as his demanding daughters, who despite being adults depend on him for everything, constantly hound him, ringing his phone every five minutes.

Age is a big concern of this movie; Gloria is often around young people only just starting their adult lives. It constantly reminds her that the clock to find love is ticking. In a less subtle moment of the film, she visits a shopping mall and sees a street entertainer with a skeleton puppet, which screams “FIND LOVE BEFORE YOU DIE!”This isn’t the only moment where Lelio opts for the overt.(Download Gloria Movie) He also makes unnecessary references to Chile's past and current student protests, only justified because it’s once again a reference to a youth culture that Gloria can never belong to.That mild criticism aside, this is a fantastically heart-warming yarn, where Garica comes across as Chile’s answer to an Ozon-esque Catherine Deneuve creating a character that even after the credits roll you are still a little bit in love with.

Cinematic portrayals of the trials and tribulations of a more mature love saga usually go hand in hand with an obvious comedic sentiment that forgives any flaws or misdemeanours in the actions of the older protagonist.(Download Gloria Movie) In 1989’s Shirley Valentine, say, the middle-aged heroine played by Pauline Collins was mocked for having a mid-life crisis, complete with one last fling in the sun. Things improved for the older actor with the more recent The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011) exploring the relationship dramas of a bunch of retired Brits, but it was still cloaked in humour.

The striking difference with Chilean writer-director Sebastian Lelio’s engaging and often dark Gloria is how the lead role of the same name could be played by any aged woman. Also, how events unfold very matter of fact in navigating the rocky relationship scene – the comedy is subjective and subliminal,(Download Gloria Movie) if at all. With the suggested ‘punishing’ of the sexually active female in film theory, protagonist Gloria is rung through the mill, both psychically and mentally, often without pity, regardless of her later years.

Set in Santiago, divorced 58-year-old Gloria (Paulina García), an attractive, free-spirited older woman and mother and grandmother,(Download Gloria Movie) visits the middle-aged singles scene regularly in the hope of finding a man she can have a relationship with. While out one night she meets and clicks with Rodolfo (Sergio Hernández), a former naval officer and extreme sports park owner who seems to be the answer. However, secrets and lies and family commitments mar the fledgling romance and the commitment Gloria so craves.

It’s perhaps another prime example of how more advanced-thinking foreign-language films are compared to their Hollywood counterparts in depicting older women as sexually active and desirable, (Download Gloria Movie) as well as prone to the same mistakes as younger females. As a figurehead, Gloria is probably more ‘in tune’ with the present-day mature generation than a lot of screen characters. Hence, it’s a dynamic watch.

Lelio has given us a multi-layered and totally genuine character in Gloria, so much so, we continually empathise with her throughout,(Download Gloria Movie) however irresponsible her behaviour might be to some. She is a dichotomy of curious good and bad attributes making for a highly engaging character driving the film. Events have a real-time lapse to them too, so we can paused almost and savour her every expression at any one moment, then be surprised by her more erratic responses in what seems like self-destructive behaviour at times.

Chilean TV actress García plays Gloria with a knowing stance, exuding effortless confidence, independence and approachability while tapping into Gloria’s vulnerable, sensitive and somewhat complex nature.(Download Gloria Movie) She keeps us guessing at her next move, often thrilling us. This is beautifully summed up in Gloria’s revenge scene that again emphasises the contradictions to her nature as she tries to establish domestic bliss in what is essentially solitary existence post motherhood. Indeed, the sense of remoteness is another strong factor in us bonding with Gloria, and Lelio expertly addresses this and opens it up to any age’s understanding in these modern times.

The ending celebrates the character while simultaneously feels a little deflating and a touch contrived. It’s arguable just how such a film should conclude, considering nothing can be resolved in the timescale,(Download Gloria Movie) except to suggest Gloria is a survivour. Lelio also challenges men of a particular age; it’s almost two-dimensional and derogatory in depiction, suggesting a weaker gender at play. That said the writer-director, never allowing caricatures to take hold, treats the status quo with intelligence and irony in the proceedings. In this respect, Gloria is a thought-provoking and immensely satisfying piece of filmmaking to catch.
