Leave your thoughts about Desert Flower.
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA beautiful model bears eloquent witness to the butchery of female circumcision. |
| New York TimesNeil Genzlinger"Desert Flower," a well-made film that depicts the remarkable life of the model Waris Dirie, manages to be both a classic feel-good story and about as far from a feel-good story as you can get. |
| OregonianMarc MohanWaris' saga is one that needs to be told, but this well-meaning dramatization might have had more power if it were a documentary. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlWritten and directed by German filmmaker Sherry Hormann, it works as well as it does because of the performances she's drawn from a solid cast. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedWaris Dirie is an inspiration, inside and out, and so is this movie. |
| Slant MagazineDiego SemereneThe film's unabashed willingness to go from bleak topical piece on genital mutilation to guilty-pleasure glamour can be disconcerting. |
| sbs.com.auCraig MathiesonIt cannot get past the simplest of outlooks, with Waris as victim, survivor or star; there's little insight into she really is. |
| QuickflixSimon MiraudoDesert Flower is just like Pretty Woman, if Pretty Woman were also about genital mutilation in Somalia (which I believe it originally was). |
| Film Journal InternationalSarah SluisThis inspiring story of a nomad-turned-model is executed in the style of a made-for-TV movie. |
| User ReviewShannon MGreat movie showing who women are still second class citizens and that needs to end. The right wing critics hate anything that has a feminist message so they need to just shut up! |
