A character study featuring Oscar bait for Helen Mirren as Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir during the 19-day Yom Kippur War in 1973. Heavy with the implications of war, this one seems to move both too fast and too slow all at once. Context is the critical thing lacking in the writing here, but the hair and makeup team deserves accolades for stellar work.

"Golda" is the kind of biopic in which a well-known actor or actress embodies a historical figure almost beyond recognition, hidden behind prosthetics. In this case, Helen Mirren plays the chain-smoking Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir during the Yom Kippur War. Mirren does her job well overall, as expected, but the movie is nothing special. The production is rather boring and uninspired. There is never any tension, at least not if you are familiar with the events of the war. The movie doesn't really have anything to say either, the focus on Meir's poor state of health wasn't enough for me in that regard.

is this real? Is there a sane person who supports what happened and is still happening from a nation that fakes reality and wants to be present on the map at the cost of the country and the blood of other people? I would rather see a documentary about the other side of the suffering that all the people who have no power or strength to “sympathize” have experienced and are experiencing.

Good performance from Mirren but the film failed to make much of an impact.

A Disastrous Falsification of History

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/10)

"Golda," the 2023 film that claims to depict the life of Golda Meir, is a disgraceful work of historical fiction that misrepresents crucial events and characters from the real history. This cinematic debacle not only fails to More

Paying homage to a country’s great leader is certainly a worthy and noble undertaking, but, when it comes to director Guy Nattiv’s would-be tribute to Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir (Helen Mirren), the film comes up far short of what it could have been. The film focuses on Meir’s handling o More

I suppose this might have been a little bit more interesting if I had known more about the 'Yom Kippur" war that threatened the still quite fledgling state of Israel. With Egypt and Syria massing huge numbers of troops and tanks on the borders, it falls to the Israeli prime minister Golda Meir (Dame More
