Gloria

A retired gun moll takes a mouthy little boy under her protection when his family is wiped out in a mob hit. His dad was the syndicate’s accountant and has given him an incriminating notebook the gangsters want and are willing to kill to get back. Gloria sets out on an Odyssey across gritty 1980s New York City to save both their lives in this neo-noir.

Oscar-nominated Rowlands delivers perhaps her career best performance under her husband’s maverick direction. Among the Big Apple landmarks is an extended sequence in the Belnord, the apartment building which stars in the Steve Martin/Martin Short “Only Murders in the Building.”
