no men are allowed to watch or comment on this movie

I'm actually sad that I only knew about this brave woman because of this documentary, being a feminist I usually like to know the ones who came before me and now I get to see how important Gloria Allred was and still is. I'm moved by her actions and her fight. I feel like the only criticism she ever gets (mostly from men I might add) is for speaking out loud about injustices and fighting for women's rights. It's so brave the fact that even after all the personal attacks she keeps fighting and just being herself. What a role model.

So, I am mainly surprised that this great portrait of a woman was under the radar as it was released earlier this year. I didn't hear a lot of people talking about it. Now, for awards season, it's making a comeback. I'm glad, as this is a documentary that is able to empower young women and really, anyone.

Allred as a lawyer has represented people who have faced sexual harassment, among other things. The documentary also relates her personal history, showing how the events in her life formed the woman she is today. Not everyone is pro-Gloria, but she remains an advocate for women, as well as people of color and members of the LGBT community.

Powerful. Wish it was 30-60 minutes longer. I was down for more.

It wasn't until I saw this doc that I realized how wholeheartedly I had bought into the lie that Allred was an opportunist, when in truth her story has been rewritten by men who want to denigrate her and obscure her legacy of working for women.

Oh how people rebel against women who are outspoken and confident, and yet worship men with the same qualities.

I want to be Gloria Allred when I grow up.

Well made, honest, powerful and about an incredibly important woman who's story needs more attention, especially now.

Seeing Allred depicts the accomplishments of attorney Gloria Allred, an outspoken advocate for women’s rights, and one of the most watched feminists of today. Watching this documentary is truly inspiring, getting to see how much progress that has been made from her, the way that society is at the moment when it comes to women’s rights and wouldn’t be the same without her. It was interesting seeing her earlier cases, and how, even when she first started her career, she was always wanting to work for those who are marginalized, before focusing on women. Gloria Allred is an inspiration, and I am so glad that this documentary is available for many people, since it’s a very important film that shows just how much one person can change.

i love auntie gloria so much oh my god

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hanya menontonnya dalam 10 menit pertama, ku sudah suka film ini.

Well structured with the Cosby spine, building into the Trump stuff, culminating in #MeToo. Very of the moment and a great way to humanize someone most people have already pre-judged.

Gloria is the female role model I needed and never knew I had.

lutou pelos direitos das mulheres numa época que tudo era extremamente difícil e ainda por cima confrontou o ***** do trump!!! essa mulher é perfeita

Shallow and poorly structured.

I love her

Feeling confirmed: the US is a third world country. With stupid belief rhetoric, the judicial system and a partition between men and women on sex cases. Some of the men's actions and stories about them in 'Seeing Allred' makes you crawl out of discomfort. A good use of a timeline introduces you to Gloria Allred, a good samaritan fighting the good cause for women. It is the strength of the documentary (which is well crafted), alongside the one-on-one's with the woman at centre stage. Her background and inner motivation to represent the oppressed all pass along. She is a brave and strong woman who does not let evil men get away with their heinous deeds. And yet, for a multi million dollar lawyer who's doing so many good things and living right at the beach in sunny LA, she lives kinda shitty.

Didn't know enough about Gloria Allred and this helped fill in some gaps. It made me both angry and hopeful. If 2021 brings nothing else, I hope it feels like it delivers more progress for women
