“The Glorias” avoids much deep examination of
its heroine’s supposed flaws or hypocrisies and
instead presents an empathetic portrait of an
empathetic person for whom home and family
were never consistent. She is always looking for
enlightenment and to be surprised, whether on
the third-class women’s only train car in India or
at a biker bar in the Black Hills of South Dakota
where she finds some unlikely fans. When a
reporter asks her what she’d say to someone who
says that the feminist movement doesn’t include
Black women, she responds that she wouldn’t
say anything, she’d just listen. She also seemed
uncomfortable with her singular celebrity and
the consistent attention on her looks.
