  • Highly recommend Netflix documentary Seeing Allred. I have a newfound respect for Gloria Allred and the work she does on behalf of women. Her tough persona and tendency to take on high profile clients gave me a somewhat negative impression of her but after learning more of her back story I admire her and the work she has done for women's rights. Very inspiring story!

  • I found this documentary so inspiring and empowering and interesting. Gloria Allred was a #metoo advocate way before it was in the mainstream culture. This film was truly eye-opening. I highly recommend it!

  • An immaculately well-made and highly inspiring film about a living American icon who fights for justice 24/7 -- and not just on-camera.

  • This movie kept me up last night way beyond my bedtime. I simply could not peel myself away. It's absolutely fantastic. Being a dyed-in-the-wool documentary junkie I deeply appreciated the style of the filmmaking. Between that and the subject matter I found myself captivated, moved, fascinated and awe-struck.I love the way the filmmakers did their best to show the depth and complexity of not just Allred herself, but also the personal, political and social environment that Allred had evolved out of, worked to change, struggled bravely to face. I wish I had a greater capacity to describe what this movie stirred inside me, both emotionally and intellectually. I can think of several scenes that were particularly poignant. For anyone with a mind and heart impassioned about--or even merely interested in--social justice, activism, gender equality, freedom of speech and the courage to try to make a difference, this movie will inspire you on a number of different levels.

  • Celebration of a life so well lived as to be a knowledgeable factor in the feminist wave causing the "Me Too" tipping point in the battle for equality of the sexes that is right now redefining the sexual power of all men over women out of existence.

  • Gloria Allred is a champion. By making life better for some people, she improves our entire society. She has forged a path with her courage and strength and big heart. This documentary puts it all on view. By the way, at minute 33, I heard an unmistakable voice. Does anybody else think they know who that woman is?

  • Great watch. And from a person who generally anti attorneys and had a cyclical view of Gloria for years, it completely changed my perspective on lots of things. Her being the biggest one. By showing us the backdrop of her youth, and her early life, along with the culture of the United States at those times, you walk away with a fantastic understanding of who she is and why she is who she is. The downside of watching itt is you then fear that the current political climate is erasing so much work that took decades to accomplish, from many people. So it's uplifting in the sense that you know people will fight for what is right but also a downer knowing how easy it is for some to destroy it all. The scene at the end of the documentary, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, was the most terrifying knowing that people like that feel like they have a voice now. Overall great watch though and well worth the time invested in it.
