Gloria Bell - 2018 - 6/10

Self named character is looking for a dance partner, not necessarily a commitment.
Mister Right-Now will do nicely. Meanwhile, her career is smooth sailing, her children are grown and doing OK.
At a 70’s retro club she meets a retired ex Marine (oddly miscast John Tuturro) and they hit it off. Sorta.
He’s recently divorced, has family issues and is needy.
To my mind, Gloria is already an empowered female. Her bucket list doesn’t include this thumb sucker.
Yet without this trainwreck love affair, there would not be this movie.
Thin and somewhat overpraised.
