Critics Project: Week Two

Foreign films are nothing new to American screens, some have even made it big here in the States. In fact, "Slumdog Millionaire" won eight Academy Awards in 2008. Not all films are this successful but Edelstein brings a new film to light, that just may have what it takes.  "Gloria" is a film out of Chile that focuses in on an older divorced woman. Edelstein is able to take a step back from his usual sassy self and was one over by the acting of  Paulina Garcia who plays Gloria. This movie keeping Gloria constantly changing her attitudes and opinions, something that's not always seen on screen. I believe that it was Garcia's acting that made this film successful and won the approval of Edelstein over the actual context. Her abilities are what' have transformed Edelstein from his sarcastic tone to someone truly endorsing a movie. "Gloria" is set to open in select theaters across the country soon.
