“Never less than compelling, her [Helen Mirren] work here feels true from scene to scene.” – Financial Times “Golda is unusually blunt about the internal devastation that comes with overseeing military operations.” – Wall Street Journal  “For those with a particular interest in Meir, Israel, or 20th century Middle East history, there’s enough here to hold a viewer’s attention.” – ReelViews “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…” – San Francisco Chronicle
