Now the feminist firebrand takes on two of the biggest adversaries of her career, Bill Cosby and Donald Trump, as sexual violence allegations grip the nation and keep her in the spotlight.

One of my all time favorites.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Ella-May O'Brien

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

'SEEING ALLRED': Four Stars (Out of Five)A documentary about woman's rights attorney Gloria Allred, and her continuous battle for equality. The film follows her as she relentlessly takes on powerful personalities in pop culture, as sexual assault allegations in the media become more and more frequent. It was directed by Roberta Grossman and Sophie Sartain, and it stars Allred. The feature is also yet another original Netflix release, on it's streaming site. I found it to be a well made and effective documentary.Gloria Allred is a women's rights attorney who's famous for taking on rich men in powerful positions (often celebrities), and defending the women their accused of violating. She was born in Philadelphia, into a Jewish family, and became interested in the civil rights movement as a graduate student at New York University. Her legal career has spanned four decades, and this movie focuses (especially) on her attempts to take down Bill Cosby. The film was pretty educational for me. I had heard of Gloria Allred, but I didn't know that much about her prior to watching this movie. I really respect her passion and conviction for such an important cause, and I think the film does a pretty good job of illustrating how affective she's been for the women's rights movement. It's definitely worth a watch if you're interested in the subject.

Seeing Allred is a documentary about Gloria Allred, an American lawyer famous for appearing at rallies and creating media stunts for her clients. This doc is directed by Roberta Grossman (Homeland: Four Portraits of Native Action) and Sophie Sartain (Mimi and Dona).The doc is well made, with great editing and music to keep somebody entertained continuously. It also has a great structure, with Allred telling her life story with in put from other people, from beginning to end. It helps that Allred is quite a interesting person and has been involved in much every high profile case, from the time she was became a lawyer, till now.The major problem with this doc is that it is 100% one sided. Allred is one of the most controversial people in America. Yet, we get presented with a documentary telling us that she is an amazing person with no faults. Not to say she isn't a person with no faults. But I would like to hear the views of the people who don't like her t make a judgement for myself on weather I like her or not. Instead it is saying that she is a saint and it is stupid if you don't like her. May I just say I watched this documentary without knowing who Gloria Allred is, so I watched this doc completely unbiased. Which is why I wanted 2 points of view.Well made and very interesting, but the one sided nature of the film is overwhelming to say the least.5/10

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.

Far too reverential a treatment for one of the most monstrous people in American public life, a rabid ideologue grown wealthy and famous through the exploitation of the real and imagined suffering of others. The film is well made in every department but asks none of the difficult questions you'd want to see asked, never once scratching the surface, accepting the narrative and worldview presented by Allred as the only one possible, and so ends up being little more than a journalistic puff piece and largely pointless. The only questioning voices came from three-second long clips of Allred's cartoon depictions in The Simpsons and South Park.In 2018, the presentation of oneself as a victim is the surest path to power, money, and fawning adoration, and Allred has this down herself impeccably. But both on an individual and societal level, this is a terrible way to live, and the identity politics she is ticking the boxes of at every opportunity throughout this documentary is eating away at both our culture and our future like a cancer.There is a great documentary waiting to be made addressing the hysteria and insanity western society is presently consumed by, and the role played by Allred and her ilk in both initiating and exacerbating that hysteria, but this sadly is not it.
