Movie Reviews

Flick Filosopher - 10/10 by MaryAnn JohansonOne of the most cinematically beautiful documentaries ever is a phenomenal portrait of a shamefully forgotten woman who helped shape political history.
Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn exquisite documentary on the extraordinary life and work of Gertrude Bell.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by G. Allen JohnsonThe result is something that feels fresh and modern.
culturevulture.net - 9/10 by Renata Polt"Letters from Baghdad" doesn't sentimentalize or glamorize Gertrude Bell. Rather, it's a window into an extraordinary woman's life and career, well worth watching.
Total Film - 8/10 by Neil SmithSabine Krayenbühl and Zeva Oelbaum's elegant mix of voiceover, archive footage and talking heads lets "the female Lawrence of Arabia" largely speak for herself, illuminating the pivotal role she played in shaping today's Middle East.
Good Times Santa Cruz - 8/10 by Lisa JensenCalling all uppity women! If you're looking for a role model on how to defy the rules and live the life you choose, look no further than Gertrude Bell.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 8/10 by Colin CovertThis lively production, scored to the rhythms of throbbing table drums, serving up her sharp, sly criticism of the misogynistic attitudes of her male counterparts, reaches too far, presenting her as a sort of proto-Wonder Woman. But not very much too far.
San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by Anita KatzWhile Bell deserves a more comprehensive portrait, this documentary brings her into vivid focus and captures the world she inhabited.
Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Jeffrey FleishmanIn an age of a rebooted "Wonder Woman," Bell is the real thing, intrepid, fierce and smart.
Guardian - 8/10 by Leslie FelperinSure, it is a little like how you imagine it would be if Radio 4's Woman's Hour made films instead of audio-only features, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
