Gloria & Eric

When Gloria, a lonely housewife, is forced to spend her New Years party looking after Eric, her daughter's heartbroken and hungover ex-boyfriend, an unexpected bond develops between them that will change their night, and possibly their lives.

Directed by Nicolas Calzada, Gloria & Eric leans on a strong ensemble — Jeremy Allen White, Deirdre Lovejoy, Estefania Crespo — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2009.
