A chronicle of Gertrude Bell's life, a traveler, writer, archaeologist, explorer, cartographer, and political attaché for the British Empire at the dawn of the twentieth century.
Leave your thoughts about Queen of the Desert.
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferQueen remains Kidman's show, and if still with a movie star-ish aura, she is a treat. Herzog, however, never attains real complexity or an understanding of Bell's interior life. But damn if the desert doesn't look splendid. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordOne thing that "Queen of the Desert" did do for me is to inspire me want to learn more about Gertrude Bell. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittThe movie should be talking about the truces Bell forged, the friendships she created and the books she wrote, not the dudes she smooched. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonThis may be Werner Herzog's most conventional film, but its mostly untold true story knows what it means for a woman to choose a life of adventure and intellect. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)The movie should be talking about the truces Bell forged, the friendships she created and the books she wrote, not the dudes she smooched. |
| The Patriot LedgerAl AlexanderI can't say it isn't marginally intriguing. Nor can I ignore the inspirational qualities of Bell's feisty independence and diplomatic flare. But there's no getting past the flimsiness of a movie that's too often as dry as the Arabian sands. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfUtilizing a larger budget and working with an eclectic cast, Herzog has the right idea here, following in David Lean's footsteps as the saga touches on cultural shifts and adventurer solitude. |
| Village VoiceKristen Yoonsoo KimHerzog has previously thrived on madness, so the failure here proves even more curious. |
| New York TimesBen KenigsbergBell is embodied, in a commanding and versatile performance, by Nicole Kidman, who supplies a gravitas and emotional complexity worthy of the woman she plays. |
| Film Journal InternationalAndré HerefordA clunky, repetitive but sporadically effective account of pioneering traveler Gertrude Bell. |
