Film Journal International

A fascinating documentary about Gertrude Bell, frequently dubbed "the female Lawrence of Arabia," that could have been even better with more exposition and historical context.

An exquisite documentary on the extraordinary life and work of Gertrude Bell.

Washington Post

It provides a sturdy, often exhilarating bridge between the present and a past that not only isn't distant, but isn't even really past.

Daily Express (UK)

Her story is told mostly via her letters, read by Tilda Swinton, and it contains astute warnings for the future. But frustratingly there are no contributions from historians or biographers to provide context and analysis.

San Francisco Examiner

While Bell deserves a more comprehensive portrait, this documentary brings her into vivid focus and captures the world she inhabited.

June 16, 2017

Resource

Minneapolis Star Tribune

This 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.
