All of the Glorias are wonderful at their parts too, although some might ding Vikander for her accent. Yet I think what she achieves is more powerful than a dead-on impression and Taymor should be applauded for taking a chance on the Swedish actor with imperfect American pronunciation.

“The Glorias” throws its hands up at the end with a jarring cut to Steinem reflecting on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 loss, shots of recent women’s marches and even some of the real Steinem herself. Her impact is hard to quantify in a few minutes and these choices are a bit obvious and a bit artless for an otherwise smart and engaging film that avoids most cloying cliches.

But maybe a neat and tidy ending would be asking too much. This is a woman and a society that are still evolving, even as the credits are rolling.

“The Glorias,” a Roadside Attractions, LD Entertainment and Amazon Video release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “brief lewd images, some language). Running time: 139 minutes. Three stars out of four.

MPAA Definition of R: Restricted. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
