It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

2/10/18. Watch this. At this time in American history, we all need to be reminded that women like Gloria Allred made it possible for women to be believed and heard and have their day in court. She grew up in a time when women had very little say if something terrible should happen to them. That is the reason why women who were sexually harassed and assaulted never spoke up or reported what happened to them. In this era of #MeToo #TimesUp women and men as well have been empowered to speak up, not just "their" truth, but the truth of horrendous behaviors that left them less of a person. Allred lived through it all, from leaving a marriage to a bipolar man, to being a single mother, then getting raped on a date, getting pregnant and almost dying from a back alley abortion. She took these experiences and made it her mission to make sure women who went through what she went through would be heard, believed and have their day in court. It is people like Allred who made it possible to level the playing field that allowed women to speak up and reveal secrets that have damaged their mental health and lives. Thanks to her, women can finally say #MeToo and #TimesUp. Thank you, Gloria Allred. We need more women like you!

This documentary explores Allred's many supporters and detractors alike. It is an honest portrayal of an attorney who has made it her life's work to support those who have been wronged by society.Incredible film. Saw it at Sundance and the audience jumped to their feet in a standing ovation when it ended. Not to be missed.

I had always heard her name over the years, an LA lawyer that was hired by rich and famous women to defend their rights during their day in court. This documentary gives us the peak behind the veil that Gloria has placed over her, digging in to her history and private life. Well made and well paced, we learn about the reasons Gloria is who Gloria is and why she has dedicated her life to fight for those who feel they don't have a voice loud enough to be heard. I was truly moved as this huge white man, obviously a Trump supporter, gets in the face of Gloria -who is 75 yrs old and maybe 100 lbs -and she calmly lets him yell in her face then politely proceeds to leave him virtually speechless with her calm and poignant words.

Absolutely fantastic documentary. Showing the truth, not the media bias, behind this woman's remarkable story. If this does not resonate or appeal to you in some way, I can't help but question your agenda, or even heart and mind. Someone who fights for truth, humanity and justice in the way Gloria Allred does, all while being continually misrepresented and misinterpreted, deserves your utmost attention and this film brings you a golden opportunity to really 'see' Allred for who really she is and exactly what she stands for.The idea that she is a woman who does what she does to only pursue fame and money is complete propaganda and nonsense - anyone who falls for such fallacy is surely small-minded and fearful of what she stands for. She is an activist. And a brilliant one at that.
