Tonight I'm seeing
a new movie by one of my favorite working directors that stars one of my favorite working actresses... so why am I so nervous? Well because it's that favorite director (Sebastián Lelio) remaking one of his one films (
Gloria from 2014) with an actress (Julianne Moore) that I'm worried is maybe miscast, is why. The original
Gloria, which I just called
one of my favorite movies of 2014 earlier this week, starred the lovely but decidedly un-supermodel-adjacent Paulina García.
And García's convincing forgotten-woman-ness is integral to that movie's success. I am just worried that my Juli is too utterly devastatingly gorgeous for this role, is all! But the reviews have been good and Lelio has yet to make a false step if you ask me, so I hope, I hope, I hope that my fears remain unfounded. I guess you'll know how I feel tomorrow, probably! Here's the trailer:
