In 1964, 30-year-old waitress and single mother Gloria agreed to engage in psychotherapy sessions on film, with three of the most influential Psychologists of the 20th century. Reeves distills and expands this 1960s educational film series Three Approaches to Psychotherapy with a superimposed montage. Excerpts from Gloria’s unguarded sessions are woven into other film artifacts from her lifetime. Newsreel clips, home movies, commercials, cold war propaganda, and educational films from the 1930s to the 1970s conjure the absurdity, rage, and profound revelations that arise as Gloria bares her secrets to the experts. Daughter of Polish immigrants, Gloria’s spiritual journey takes flight from the confining therapy chamber. Reeves’ kaleidoscopic montage lays bare the unspoken threads of influence in Gloria’s struggle from Catholic schoolgirl to teenage bride and psychotherapy patient. After a traumatic public betrayal, Gloria forges an extraordinary path, becoming a remarkably independent thinker and generous soul until her life is cut terribly short.
