Why Julianne Moore’s New Movie ‘Gloria Bell’ Is ‘Miraculous’ in Its Intimacy

Allison Takeda
Mar 09, 2019

Julianne Moore’s latest performance, as the title character in Sebastian Lelio’s Gloria Bell — a remake of his Oscar-nominated 2013 Chilean film Gloria — is one of her best, most honest portrayals of a character. But it almost didn’t happen.

“I had seen the original film and was just blown away by it. I thought it was so, so beautiful, and I really wanted to meet with him,” Moore told Brit + Co at a New York press junket for the film, which follows a 50-something divorced woman as she embarks on a complicated new romance with a man she meets on one of her nights out at a singles dance club.

Fortunately for the actress, she and Lelio share a manager, who arranged for the pair to meet in Paris. Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding over what the meeting was about, and Lelio thought Moore didn’t want to have anything to do with the movie, which of course she did. So they had a long conversation about other things, until Moore finally told him she wanted to do a remake — if and only if he directed it.

“He said, ‘Well, I would only ever direct again it if you were in it,'” she recalled. “So we were like, ‘Okay!'”

That was a few years ago. It took some time to actually get the project going, and Lelio was a little nervous when they finally did. “It was paralyzing at the beginning, to think that you can revisit your own materials and bring them back to life,” he admitted to Brit + Co. “That was a big question. But I guess the danger of it was really exciting. It was an artistic challenge to bring it back to life, and to find whatever was universal about the first story or the first version and try to find a new vehicle for that. It’s like staging a play with a new set of great actors in a different culture.”

That new set of great actors includes John Turturro, who plays Gloria’s love interest Arnold; Brad Garrett, who plays her ex-husband; Rita Wilson, who plays her best friend; and Michael Cera and Caren Pistorius, who play her kids Peter and Anne. Moore is the anchor of the film, though — she quietly owns every scene she’s in, and she’s in every scene.

“The game of the film is to observe this film from every possible angle, going through the entire emotional spectrum,” Lelio explained. “So when the woman-slash-actress that is interpreting the role changes, then the soul, the DNA of the film, is somehow modified. It’s all about Julianne and her wonderful incarnation of Gloria Bell.”

There’s nothing particularly extraordinary about Gloria as a character — she likes to dance, loves her kids, sings in the car, and is generally game for anything, including paintball and spur-of-the-moment trips to Vegas — but Moore is captivating in the role. It’s easy to see why Arnold is so utterly infatuated with Gloria, because who wouldn’t be?

That’s the magic of the film. As Arnold falls for her, so does the audience. “The thing that’s kind of miraculous about this movie is that you realize that the only people who experience Gloria in her entirety [are viewers]. Because you see her with her children, you see her with her best friends, with her mother, with her boyfriend, with her coworkers — and yet the only people who really see her holistically are people in the audience and herself,” Moore told us.

“So when you watch Gloria Bell, there’s this incredible intimacy that Sebastian has created, and it’s like watching yourself. That moment of identification that happens, it happens in that intimacy and that observation. And that’s what’s so beautiful about it. And that’s why I wanted to work with him.”

Gloria Bell is in theaters starting today, March 8.

Here's Which Character From 'The Holiday' You Are, Based On Your Zodiac Sign

Give me a Nancy Meyers movie at Christmas with very intricately and intentionally designed sets, and I am oh-so in! From Jude Law in his very attractive glasses to Cameron Diaz chugging red wine in the grocery store, there's so much to love about The Holiday. This cozy Christmas classic is a favorite rewatch for so many — but have you ever wondered which character you're the most like? According to the stars, there's a character from The Holidayfor everyone! Here's yours. 😉

Scroll down to see which The Holidaycharacter you are, according to your zodiac sign!

Sony Pictures

Aries (March 21 – April 20): Maggie

Maggie is one of the most ambitious characters in this movie. While she may be the villain in Miles' story, she just may put that drive to good use instead of taking advantage of her partner's industry connections and incredible kindness. I'd like to believe that after their breakup, she takes a long, hard look in the mirror and pursues her passions without throwing anyone else under the bus. Because, Aries, at your core you are one of the most determined people out there who can truly use your power to achieve anything you put your mind to. Just let Maggie be a warning: if you let that fervor go too far, it could get the best of you — and hurt those around you.

Sony Pictures

Taurus (April 21 – May 21): Arthur

Who else would live in the same house for 47 years, but a Taurus? His eclectic house is full of charm and quirks and stories alike, leaving Iris to wonder who this wild, witty man really is that lives next door. And while Arthur has one of the most impressive lives and careers out of anyone in this movie, he's humble enough to bury the lede and let his life speak for itself. Achievements aren't what matter most to Arthur — the people and the world around him. However, don't be fooled: this man is stubborn as a bull, actively avoiding his mail because he doesn't wanna give the industry what they want from him. While that's not inherently bad, he almost let that stubborn streak keep him from one of the happiest nights of his life.

Sony Pictures

Gemini (May 22 – June 21): Jasper

I will say this until the cows come home (whatever that means): Geminis are not inherently two-faced or bad! They really aren't! However, their inherent duality can allow for some questionable choices when it goes unchecked — especially if said Gemini is particularly selfish á la Jasper. Instead of using his duality to enrich his inner life, Jasper uses it to live one life with Iris and one with his fiancée. He may be a brilliant writer — and Geminis I know you're incredibly intelligent — but it'll always be overshadowed by this two-sided take he has on life. Fingers crossed he eventually figured out how to put all of himself into what matters: his family (that he literally chose).

Sony Pictures

Cancer (June 22 – July 22): Mr. Napkinhead

Mr. Napkinhead may not be an actual character, but nothing is more sentimental than a napkin-faced, widowed father doing a beloved bit for his daughters. There's an innate level of empathy in Mr. Napkinhead that radiates Cancer behavior — it's a sense of caring so much for everyone else that you're willing to do whatever song and dance brings others joy. Protect yourself though, Cancer. This kind, caring nature can be incredibly draining if you're always putting on for everyone else and not saving enough energy for yourself. Instead of wearing yourself as thin as a napkin (see what I did there?), give your loving gifts thoughtfully and intentionally.

Sony Pictures

Leo (July 23 – August 22): Amanda

Who has more main character energy than Amanda? I mean, she literally sees herself as a main character in her own imaginary trailer of her life! She may do work behind the scenes when it comes to movies, but that doesn't make her any less of a drama queen. Much like you, Leo, Amanda's able to use her big dreams and big drive to build the beautiful life she wants — however, her desire for the picture perfect lifestyle can get in her way too. Thankfully, she doesn't let it totally take her down (I really thought we lost our high heel loving girl boss after that breakup), instead channeling her energy into doing it for the plot and meeting her soulmate. The most extreme of extreme Leo behavior, TBH.

Sony Pictures

Virgo (August 23 – September 21): Bristol

If Amanda is the queen of main character, type A behavior, imagine the organization it requires to be her personal assistant. Bristol is all that and then some, making sure Amanda's life is queued up to a tee — even when it's seemingly falling apart. While we don't get too much Bristol in this Nancy Meyers masterpiece, I just know this Virgo queen has a spotless home, a color-coded to-do list, and high standards for her partner. You don't rock a ponytail like that and live otherwise.

Sony Pictures

Libra (September 22 – October 22): Iris

Iris wants the most beautiful, love-filled life — which is so totally Libra it hurts. Her other incredibly Libra trait? Pining over who she can't have (I'm looking at you, Jasper). There's just something about an unrequited love that hits Libras right where it hurts...but they can't help leaning in! It's the dramatic, daydreamer in them. And while Jasper can't truly see Iris for the wonderful woman she is, that doesn't stop her warm, caring nature from shining anyway. Iris makes friends everywhere she goes, eventually charming Miles into giving her the ultimate happy ending she's been waiting for. (Oh, & her style is incredibly her own, from her quirky wardrobe to her eccentric and intricately decorated English cottage — Libra to the max)

Sony Pictures

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21): Ethan

Scorpios, please know I am not coming for you with this. I continue to evangelize the idea that Scorpios and Geminis are incredibly misunderstood — however, it's really easy for their worst traits to show up in stereotypical movie villain ways. Ethan is a really good example of this, proving that your guarded nature can really catch up to you if you don't keep an eye on it, Scorpio. Instead of letting Amanda in and being honest with her about what's not working in their relationship, he resorts to putting up a wall, bottling it all up, and cheating on her. My advice to Ethan in the future? Let that soft, water sign center shine! You have feelings, and when they're feeling hurt or neglected, TELL someone. You deserve to be heard too!

Sony Pictures

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21): Miles

Miles is the epitome of a Sagittarius. He's got a great sense of humor, he's very comfortable with people quickly, he's silly and fun — the kind of friend you always wanna have at your party. It's great because Miles really doesn't care what anyone else thinks, so he's ready to sing a song in the middle of a Blockbuster or sweetly whisk an eyelash out of your eye at a moments notice. He literally says he wants to to celebrate "being young and being alive" — basically the entire ethos of being a Sagittarius. 'Nuff said.

Sony Pictures

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19): Graham

Oh Graham, you beautiful Capricorn. Where do I even begin? This man cares about seeming "respectable" from the start, ultimately proving that he's put together a carefully curated life for himself, while still allowing himself to let loose and have fun when the time (AKA the pub) calls for it. This earth sign reads parenting books before bed, has an editor's attention to detail (literally), and is extremely confident. However, he compartmentalizes his life — and that could keep him from letting his worlds beautifully bleed together. Luckily, a certain Leo waltzed into his life, and balanced out his very grounded approach to life with her fiery energy.

Sony Pictures

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18): Ben

Ben is a world-changer...or at least a cinematic world-changer from what we can see. This creative sees the bigger picture, fighting for Amanda's ultimate vision with each trailer they make together. His storytelling ability is honestly really impressive, allowing him to take a story that already exists and condense it down into a digestible clip that draws people in with every second it plays. If that's not Aquarius, I don't know what is. Your unique visions are what make this world so colorful, Aquarius, and I just know this nature isn't just relegated to Ben's professional life.

Sony Pictures

Pisces (February 19 – March 20): Sophie & Olivia

These girls have their heads in the clouds...or at least the stars! All jokes aside, these whimsical, eclectic sisters are totally Pisces material. They use their rich imaginations to paint a perfect world for themselves, even after the tragic passing of their mother. Instead of wallowing in the sadness, they wonder and marvel at the man that they have for a father (and if Jude Law was my daddy, I would too — let's be real 😅). Their ability to overcome and create something beautiful is incredibly Pisces — and something we should all strive for.

Your Weekly Horoscope Is In—And Super Lucky For These 5 Signs

It's officially the last week of Sagittarius season, and it begins with Mercury stationing direct and the full moon in Gemini. On one level, the energy is full speed ahead. It's time to finish the holiday shopping, baking, and get on with the merry-making. Venus, the planet of love and our values, forms a beneficial trine to Jupiter, which will leave us feeling an abundance of love and joy. Make sure to take time to express heartfelt gratitude and love whenever possible. This wonderful energy is perfect for the holidays, and we will likely be in a social, festive mood. Whatever we put out into the world will come back in an amplified way.

Wanna know what that means for your weekly horoscope? Let's check it out!

While the overall vibes are buzzing right now, there's still a need to slow down, as Mars will be retrograde until February 24, 2025. Working with this energy over the next few weeks and months is critical. Mindfully pursuing goals, staying calm while frustrated, and using our determination and power for the best possible outcomes are part of the lessons while the planet of action is in this retrograde phase. There are nuances depending on where transiting Mars lands in your chart and where Mars was when you were born, but in general, it's a time to be extra careful, harness your energy wisely, and act upon ideas and opportunities to further your personal evolution.

Diana Agapova

This week, the Sun squares Neptune, and despite the energetic feeling of the season, it might be difficult to find motivation and enthusiasm for work. If you can take time off, do so. Tap into the dreamy energy to create something beautiful, whether it's to finish your holiday crafts or to host a gathering to let those you love know how important they are to you. Use music, lights, and candles to inspire and create a loving mood. Be aware that there is a tendency to see things through a rose-colored illusion. Make sure you're honest and upfront in all your dealings to avoid misunderstandings.

Pavel Danilyuk

On December 21, the Sun moves into Capricorn. The winter solstice marks the shortest day and the longest night of the year. Most ancient civilizations celebrated this occasion. Stone structures like Newgrange in Ireland were built with an alignment to the solstice sunrise. The indigenous Zuni tribe dances in gratitude for the abundance of the year. St. Lucia’s Day in Scandinavia celebrates light overcoming darkness by lighting candles. Devise your own ritual or adopt and modify what has been done in the past. Creating new traditions around ancient celestial happenings can be a wonderful way to celebrate the season.

Horoscopes for Sun and Rising Signs

Brit + Co

Aries (March 21 – April 20)

You might feel like retreating from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. Allow yourself to be inspired by your intuition and make time for quiet contemplation. You'll probably be more interested in engaging in a private spiritual practice with a few close loved ones rather than going to a large holiday gathering. It's a good time to honestly evaluate your life’s direction. This might feel disorienting and a little confusing. Practice patience (not easy for an Aries!) and trust that this period of time will put you in touch with a more authentic and spiritually aligned version of yourself.

Brit + Co

Taurus (April 21 – May 21)

The challenge is to combine your big dreams with a practical plan of action. Are you supported by a solid community of collaborators to help manifest your ideas? It's important to be clear with your cohorts and work cooperatively toward a common goal. If you're the leader, make sure you lead with compassion and aim to lift everyone in the group, utilizing the unique skills of each participant. If you find yourself doing most of the work, re-evaluate the plan so that there is more reciprocity. There is an opportunity for creative and spiritual growth in the community. Just make sure everyone is benefiting in one way or another.

Brit + Co

Gemini (May 22 – June 21)

You might feel a shift in your attitude about your career. This could feel disorienting if you have built your ego around success in the workplace. It's a good time to evaluate whether you have created a false persona and to adjust for better alignment with your more authentic self. If you have access to a mentor, ask for guidance as you navigate toward a more honest approach to your career. Courageously make any changes that will better reflect your positive and cooperative tendencies. Practice self-compassion and realize this could be a foggy, confusing time. Be honest with yourself about what is important as you explore a new way to be in your professional life.

Brit + Co

Cancer (June 22 – July 22)

Connect with your spiritual center. You might feel as if there is a veil of illusion testing your trust in the unknown or unseen. Your intuition is keen and will be an asset as you navigate this hazy period of time. Go with the flow of life and let go of any need to control the outcome. This will create a sense of freedom. Release your ego needs and surrender to a higher sense of humility and compassion. Hone your meditation practice, devote yourself to music, and engage in anything that brings peace to your heart. The love energy will flow around you and those you cherish.

Brit + Co

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

You're in a phase to uncover the depths of your subconscious mind. What you reveal has the potential to transform you in profound ways, connecting you to your intuition and power. It's essential to communicate clearly, especially in matters involving finances. Refrain from borrowing money from friends or close associates. Reassess your spending habits and explore creative ways to increase your income. Financial independence will lead to a sense of freedom and autonomy, which will allow easier access to your inner intuition. This week marks the beginning of a period of self-awareness that will align you with your essence. Approach it with an open heart.

Brit + Co

Virgo (August 23 – September 21)

You might be idealistic and only see the potential in your relationships. If you ignore reality, miscommunications and heartache are likely. It's important to be clear in all your exchanges. Make sure you're grounded and don’t get carried away with fantasies. If a loved one is ill, you'll likely feel a deep connection as your compassion is strong. You'll excel as a caregiver in this case. Be sure to practice self-care and keep in mind what you need as you establish healthy boundaries. Unconditional love is available, but you must take care of yourself as you extend that love to others.

Brit + Co

Libra (September 22 – October 22)

Are you taking care of yourself? Your daily habits and routines are important. Make sure you're keeping your immune system healthy, as you'll be more sensitive to illnesses and infections. Sleep well and eat nourishing foods. Tune into your body for clues about your best approach to health. Moderation and mindfulness are key. Engage in a holistic approach and don’t neglect your mental and spiritual health. You might find yourself compelled to acts of service for others. Be sure you're taking care of yourself and have realistic boundaries in place before committing to helping others.

Brit + Co

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Your imagination and creativity are heightened. Harness your artistic expression with tangible projects. Use your intuition and inspiration to guide you. Be on the lookout for opportunities to express your creativity. You'll likely be super sensitive, and your emotions might be hard to control or define. This is not a time to intellectualize what you're feeling. Instead, translate your emotions into opportunities for self-understanding. You'll benefit greatly by working with a professional guide, whether a counselor or someone you can collaborate with on an artistic level.

Brit + Co

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

It's likely you're experiencing profound shifts in your internal world. Maintain a sense of peace and tranquility at home, as these shifts might cause you to feel unbalanced. There might be changes in your family dynamics. Let go of old patterns and roles that no longer serve you or your family. It's essential to establish boundaries with your loved ones. Clear and compassionate communication is necessary to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. Take advantage of opportunities to express your newfound internal understandings, and you'll experience deeper connections. Spend time in nature and commit yourself to activities that keep you grounded and connected to the Earth.

Brit + Co

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Open yourself up to a more fluid state of mind. If you're accustomed to relying on your intellect, this is a chance to experience a more integrated way of being. Engage in activities that expand your consciousness and connect you to realms of spiritual understanding. You may have a desire to express your creative side in a new way. Allow yourself to experience life without knowing exactly where you're going, and trust that the process unfolding inside you will lead to a deeper understanding of yourself. Cultivate an inner gentleness and kindness as you continue on your path to greater self-compassion.

Brit + Co

Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)

This is a time to reassess your values. The material possessions you own may conflict with your spiritual needs. It's easy to become distracted or weighed down by your belongings. Take this opportunity to honestly evaluate what truly matters to you. If you find yourself overly focused on external, tangible indicators of success, consider shifting your attention to inner growth and spiritual fulfillment. Simplifying your life and prioritizing what aligns with your deeper values will create a sense of freedom and clarity, allowing you to connect more authentically with yourself and others.

Brit + Co

Pisces (February 19 – March 20)

Your intuition is heightened, and you may find yourself drawn to imaginative and creative pursuits. Allow your inner vision to guide you as you explore new ways to express yourself artistically or spiritually. However, be mindful of boundaries, especially in relationships. You have a natural inclination to give selflessly, but it's essential to balance this with self-care. Avoid overextending yourself emotionally or physically. Tap into the dreamy, compassionate energy of the season to strengthen your inner peace and connection to higher truths. This is an excellent time for introspection and for nurturing your unique gifts.

LOL, Kevin Costner Just Made The Wildest 'Yellowstone' Comment

Yellowstone season 5B is here! Twisters might have been THE summer movie of 2024, but the western vibes aren't going away, even after the Glen Powell movie has left theaters. The second half of Yellowstone season 5 returned to Paramount November 10 and it did not disappoint. 16.4 million viewers tuned into the premiere over a variety of networks — making it the most-watched season premiere in the show's history.

And it's a major season for one very specific reason: Kevin Costner isn't returning as John Dutton. The star decided to exit the series after season 5's eighth episode premiered in January 2023, but as big of a change is this is, Costner is still an executive producer on the series, giving it a familiarity fans will appreciate.

Yellowstone has always been dramatic, but in the Yellowstone season 5 first look, you can just feel the tension from fan favorites like Beth Dutton, Monica Long, and Kayce Dutton. And no wonder: the Duttons' family drama is coming to a head, and it looks like someone might not make it out alive. Read up on everything you need to know about the new season of Yellowstone, and check out why Paramount+'s New Drama Landman Is Perfect For Yellowstone Fans.

Keep reading for everything you need to know about the final season of Yellowstone.

What happened on the finale of Yellowstone?

Paramount

Yellowstone season 5 had two major themes: save the ranch and avenge John Dutton's death. And the Yellowstone finale saw both of those things happen in their own way. Kayce sells the property to High Chief Thomas Rainwater at $1.25 an acre (the price when his ancestors took it) on two conditions: his family stays in their home, and the land will never be developed or sold to anyone else.

And after John's funeral (where Beth literally tells his casket she'll avenge him), Beth runs off to Jamie's house, gets into a brutal fight, and stabs him in the heart before moving to start a peaceful (?) new life in Dillon, Montana with Rip. I guess all's well that ends well?

Is this the last season of Yellowstone?

It's always hard to say goodbye to a beloved show, but despite reports that Yellowstone would end with season 5, it looks like we could be getting a Yellowstone season 6 after all. Deadline confirmed that negotiations are happening for a potential continuation, which would focus on Kelly Reilly's Beth and Cole Hauser's Rip.

Reilly told Entertainment Weekly ahead of the season 5 premiere that "Beth is more like a wild animal this season than ever. When I read the scripts, it made me think [that] she is, for the first time, maybe afraid she will lose it for [her dad]."

"It's dark, brutal and desperate stuff — gaining power, losing it, defending and fighting," she continues. "It's bloody and at times beautiful in how it breaks them into their core selves." The setup for a potential season 6 will totally depend on how season 5 ends — and how it affects Beth, Rip, and the rest of the family.

Is Kevin Costner in Yellowstone season 5 part 2?

Paramount

No Kevin Costner is not in the second half of Yellowstone season 5, and we find out the fate of his character John Dutton immediately. When Beth and Kayce find John dead in the bathroom, Beth immediately suspects foul play and blames it on Jamie. Well, Kevin is finally speaking on his character's end, and told The Michael Smerconish Programon November 11 that he actually didn't know the show had premiered the night before.

“I’m going to be perfectly honest. I didn’t know it was actually airing last night,” he says. “That’s a swear-to-God moment. I’ve been seeing ads with my face all over the place and I’m thinking, ‘Gee, I’m not in that one.’ But I didn’t realize yesterday was the thing...I heard it’s a suicide, so that doesn’t make me want to rush to go see it.”

But even if Kevin isn't over the moon about watching his character die, he doesn't have any bad blood with the writers. “They’re pretty smart people,” he continues. “Maybe it’s a red herring. Who knows? They’re very good. And they’ll figure that out.”

Well, the actor told Entertainment Tonight that he STILL hasn't seen the season 5 premiere as of November 17. “I didn’t watch it, so I don’t really have any thoughts about it,” he said. Due to delays from the writer's strike, and a tug-of-war between Paramount saying Kevin couldn't film new episodes and Kevin saying creator Taylor Sheridan took too long to write the scripts, the actor chose to leave the series, reportedly in part to promote his Horizon movie franchise.

“I gave this thing five seasons,” the actor told The Hollywood Reporterthis summer. “I was really happy to do it. And I don’t need drama. So, let’s just take that drama away, let’s take the guessing [away]. The fans have been way too good to me. And my obligation is to go on and continue to make things that mean something to them.”

What is Yellowstone season 5 about?

Paramount

Yellowstone Season 5 Plot

The series introduced us to the Duttons, a powerful family in charge of America's biggest contiguous cattle ranch. Every season has been gritty and powerful, and in the fifth season, we've seen John become Montana's governor and make Beth his chief of staff. But with Jamie trying to take the power away from his dad, the Duttons are fighting each other like we've never seen — especially when Jamie and Beth start considering how to get away with murder.

Luke Grimes recently told Entertainment Weekly how pleased he is with the finale, and Kelly Reilly revealed creator Taylor Sheridan actually told her the ending to the series while they filmed season 1.

“I read the last episode the day before we started filming,” Luke says. “I couldn't be happier. I think it's a perfect ending for the show for every character. It's just a testament to what a good writer Taylor is, and it's a very, very profound, beautiful ending. I can't wait to sit down and watch it one day.”
