	Media	Author	Review
		Stephen Hunter The Washington Post	"Who is the auteur of this madness? Alas, none other than the great Sidney Lumet (...) What is going on? This guy couldn't see through this script? Shame."
		Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader	"[A] misguided 1999 remake of the John Cassavetes feature (...) Unfortunately Stone reaches for 50s reference points like Marilyn Monroe and Judy Holliday that throw the whole conception out of kilter"
		Godfrey Cheshire Variety	"This wooden crime yarn easily qualifies as the most tired, unexciting mob movie in recent memory."
		Lawrence Van Gelder The New York Times	"A smoother, funnier, more suspenseful and more endearing version of the 1980 John Cassavetes film of the same title"
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It’s early in the year, but I’ll bet that 'Gloria' grabs a top spot on any list of the worst movies of 1999."
		Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"Without its emotional core working, 'Gloria' amounts to not much more than a lot of scenes with a woman running down the street in high heels, dragging some kid. It's entertainment, but mild entertainment"
