The Blu-ray presentation of "Gloria Bell" offers a solid 1080p transfer with a muted color palette and naturally rendered visuals. While not boasting vibrant colors or razor-sharp resolution, the film maintains commendable shadow detail, consistent flesh tones, and a smooth cinematic motion.

Audio: 76

The DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track for Gloria Bell excels in its clarity and dynamic range, with dialogue remaining clean and centrally focused, while music-filled scenes offer immersive surround activity and robust low-frequency effects. Though primarily front-focused, ambient sounds and directional effects enhance the overall experience.

Extra: 27

The Blu-ray extras of 'Gloria Bell' feature insightful audio commentary by Director Sebastián Lelio, a 10-minute featurette with engaging behind-the-scenes interviews, and a digital copy. Despite some predictable interview questions, the content provides valuable perspectives on the film's script, narrative, and characters.

Movie: 67

Julianne Moore's standout performance in 'Gloria Bell' elevates this vignette-driven character study of a free-spirited divorcée navigating love and life in her 50s. Though at times haphazard, the film offers a potent mix of drama and comedy, punctuated by a rich soundtrack and solid supporting cast including John Turturro.
