Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by Ella TaylorJeremy Kagan's excellent adaptation of William Gibson's stage play.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 9/10 by Mark R. LeeperPowerful and well-acted even if there are stylistic glitches in the presentation.
WBAI Web Radio - 9/10 by Prairie MillerThis shamelessly uncritical view of Golda, her world perspective, and the period of Middle Eastern history over which she presided as a major player, confuses the protagonist's point of view with the reality. Grandmother or godfather?
TV Guide Magazine - 8/10 by Ken FoxFortunately, no amount of optical wizardry and quick-change trickery can disguise the fundamental power of Harper's performance, a revelatory turn that's truly transformative in every sense of the term.
www.susangranger.com - 8/10 by Susan GrangerNot only is this poignant portrait of Golda Meir riveting and powerful, it also reminds and enlightens us about the origins of the current Middle East conflict.
Boxoffice Magazine - 8/10 by Amy NicholsonThe brink of annihilation looks like a low-budget music video.
Monsters and Critics - 6/10 by Ron WilkinsonA good performance of a landmark Broadway play will barely be enough to bring audiences to this one. But the history alone is worth the price of admission.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Elizabeth WeitzmanOnce again, we chart the growth of a woman and a country at the same time, a tough assignment that Harper tackles with humor and passion (even if her Kissinger impersonation could use a little work).
Variety - 5/10 by Ronnie ScheibKagan's green-screen filmization, in its over-busy editing, ever-changing angles and constantly shifting backdrops, strips the play of its starkness, leaving disproportionate schmaltz and propaganda.
New York Post - 4/10 by V.A. MusettoHarper and the film's director, Jeremy Kagan, try valiantly, but they are unable to bring Meir to life or hold viewers' attentions.
