Rating: 7/10
Gloria (Anne Hathaway) is a mess. Her existence revolves around
drinking, sleeping and abusive men. Dumped by her boyfriend, Gloria
returns to her hometown in a half-hearted attempt to begin again. She
continues to be a sucker for abuse. The men in Gloria's life, each
controlling in their own way, manipulate her will-power as much as the
alcohol.
At about the same time a gigantic monster begins stalking Seoul. Gloria
discovers a connection between this monster, herself and her tragic
relationships with men and the bottle.
Endearing qualities of the film include touching scenes, powerful
underlying themes and independent charm. Yet the storyline is
disjointed and lacks effective transitions. Gaps need to be filled in
the writing/directing. Hathaway, Jason Sudeikis and Tim Blake Nelson
are fun to watch, yet Nelson seems somewhat restrained. Seen at the
Toronto International Film Festival.
