Golda Ratings & Reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
A lumps-and-all showcase for Mirren and makeup.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
"Golda" is a good drama about Israel. But it will take a great drama about Israel to dig into the nation's long-simmering moral ambiguities.
San Francisco Chronicle
G. Allen Johnson
Mirren portrays Meir in her darkest days at the height of the 1973 Yom Kippur War with empathy and loving subtlety. It's hard to imagine anyone doing it better, and this is territory that was once mined by Ingrid Bergman...
The Messenger
Jordan Hoffman
Helen Mirren's makeup-enhanced act of mimicry as the Middle Eastern Prime Minister is remarkable.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
Helen Mirren gets lost beneath layers of heavy prosthetics and a swirl of incessant cigarette smoke in "Golda."
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
It's a war film told from a statewoman's point of view, which both works and doesn't.
Boston Globe
Odie Henderson
The real Meir has more energy and charisma in the few seconds when she's shown onscreen than Mirren has in 100 minutes.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
The more glaring problem is that Golda itself never rises above the level of an actor's showcase, never achieves - despite some noticeable effort - a more complicated, challenging reading of history.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It is the woman at the center of the story whose personality and contradictions are given short shrift, in any deep sense.
Wall Street Journal
Kyle Smith
Though the contours of its story are fairly standard statesman-at-war drama, "Golda" is unusually blunt about the internal devastation that comes with overseeing military operations.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Nattiv mixes real footage with re-creations and you can't help but wonder if the subject matter could have been explored more thoroughly in nonfiction format.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
[Mirren's] so-so performance is weighed down all the more by a disappointing dearth of context about this fascinating woman.
Associated Press
Mark Kennedy
It's not clear why smoking is so important to the filmmakers. Perhaps it's to show Meir's stubbornness or single-mindedness or stress release, but it just becomes a filmmaking crutch, like real nicotine.
New York Times
Amy Nicholson
As one imagines the burden of wearing Meir's artificial skin, you can practically hear Nattiv hiss: Now imagine putting yourself in the actual woman's orthopedic shoes.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
Perceptions may be colored by revisionist political opinions of Meir, but Mirren embodies a complex character of conscience and empathy, who feels deeply and acts decisively to preserve an independent state even as she herself is disappearing. A gem.
Observer
Rex Reed
[Mirren's] relentless courage and self-assurance have obviously convinced her she can play any role she so desires. True, she can play a lot of them. Aging, dowdy Israeli prime minister Golda Meir is not one of them.
leonardmaltin.com
Leonard Maltin
There is no trace of Helen Mirren in Golda, and that's the way it ought to be. To say that she becomes the fabled Israeli Prime Minister is a mild understatement, and it should come as no surprise that she delivers a great performance.
Austin Chronicle
Jenny Nulf
Golda isn't a failure of skill, but one of vision.
A Good Movie To Watch
Savina Petkova
The film itself describes Golda as a hero outside of Israel and controversial in her own land, and it does well enough in embodying that very same controversy.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Damon Wise
Nattiv's understated direction brings to mind Tomas Alfredson's understated adaptation of John Le Carré's Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The shadow of Le Carré does loom large, which may be attributable to Nicholas Martin's thoughtful script.
