Produced entirely under quarantine, the special, written by Rudnick and directed by Roach, “tells stories of breaking down and breaking through in the summer of 2020 that are funny, searing, poignant and now,” according to HBO.

“Paul Rudnick and Jay Roach bring their razor-sharp perspective and wit to HBO,” said Casey Bloys, President, HBO Programming. “We are thrilled to partner with them in telling this story, which is uniquely resonant for these times.”

Exploring our current world of deeply divided politics and the universal pursuit of human connection during a pandemic, Coastal Elites features a series of confessionals from five main characters, played by:

Synopsis / Plot:

An equal rights crusader, journalist, and activist: Gloria Steinem embodies these and more. From her role in the revolutionary women’s rights movement to her travels throughout the U.S. and around the world, Steinem has made an everlasting mark on modern history. A nontraditional chronicle of a trailblazing life.

Critics’ reviews

“A timely yet rousingly conventional look at the legendary feminist leader (…) the traditional approach taken by Taymor works fine ”
Owen Gleiberman: Variety
“A creative, rich biopic that doesn’t give a hoot about convention (…) Vikander’s performance is arguably the meatiest”
Kate Erbland: IndieWire
“Threaded throughout with stylistic extravagances that can feel intrusive, the film is most exciting when its dramatic scenes are intercut with archival footage”
David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
“[It] is ultimately a triumphant and insightful story about how a young girl became a feminist.”
Adam Chitwood: Collider
“As it stands, the film gets the job done. Gloria Steinem deserves to be discussed and admired.”
Dan Mecca: The Film Stage
