Gloria (2014)

Gloria is a middle-aged divorcee with a cubicle job, a noisy upstairs neighbor, and grown kids who seem to not particularly want her in their lives. She also really loves spending her evenings in dance halls -- kind of quieter clubs for older people. It's in the club where she meets Rodolfo, a recent divorcee, who has yet to disentangle himself from his wife and his too-dependent-on-him grown daughters.

The set-up seems normal enough, but Rodolfo's behavior is super-weird. He abandons Gloria during a family party without any warning and doesn't pick up her calls for the rest of the evening. When he succeeds in begging her back and whisking her away on an overnight trip to the seaside, he abandons her again. I found it to be unbelievable and wound up judging Gloria as pathetic for allowing herself to be bamboozled by a crazy person.

In the end, I was left with feelings of distaste and pity.
