24. Gloria Bell (2018)

A remake of his own 2013 drama Gloria, Gloria Bell was directed by Chilean director Sebastián Lelio and follows its title character (Julianne Moore), an adventurous divorcée, as she comes to terms with a new, failing relationship and her lonliness.

Anchored by Moore's energetic, tragic performance and Lelio's wonderful snapshot approach to documenting Gloria's misadventures, the drama is both darkly amusing and heartfelt, effortlessly telling the story of one woman's quest for connection and closure in the wake of an impulsive love affair.

Messy, sweet and ambiguous, Gloria Bell isn't quite a perfect film, but it is deeply affecting, with Moore's performance alone making it more than worth hunting down.
