Gloria Bell
By writer/director Sebastián Lelio. Did you know this movie was a remake by the same writer/director, how many times has that happened? “Gloria Bell” is a very intense and incisive portrait of a woman.

From that point on, Natalie’s approach to life and how people see her became pragmatic and limited.
