Summary: To some, Gloria Allred is a money-grubbing, shrill feminist prone to tawdry theatrics; to others she’s the most effective and fearless women’s rights attorney in America. In this intimate, warts-and-all documentary, one thing is certain: Allred’s 40-year devotion to asserting, protecting, and expanding the rights of women is unwavering andTo some, Gloria Allred is a money-grubbing, shrill feminist prone to tawdry theatrics; to others she’s the most effective and fearless women’s rights attorney in America.

What’s perhaps most fascinating about this documentary is how sure-footed Allred has been in picking her battles over the years. Read full review

Peter Debruge

As the cases against Cosby, Trump, O’Reilly, Weinstein, etc. reveal, the courts don’t appear to be equipped to correct a gender-biased system, whereas Allred has pioneered a new way of fighting injustice. Read full review

Ken Jaworowski

Feb 8, 2018

A documentary that’s remarkably engaging despite treating its rough-and-tumble hero with kid gloves. Read full review

Daniel Fienberg

Feb 8, 2018

Utterly and passionately hagiographic, the documentary Seeing Allred presents 96 minutes of reasons to stand and cheer for celebrated feminist lawyer Gloria Allred. That means, of course, that for ultra-conservative lovers of Netflix documentaries, it's doubtful that Seeing Allred is going to dramatically change any opinions about her. Read full review

This woman, for all her flaws, is clearly a warrior first and foremost. Read full review

Kenneth Turan

Feb 8, 2018

Made with its subject's cooperation and talking to people like comrade in arms Gloria Steinem and Allred's daughter, fellow attorney Lisa Bloom, the film allows us, at least to a certain extent, to get behind the public persona to the private person. Read full review
