In 1974, Golda Meir (Helen Mirren), who was Prime Minister of Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur War, testified at a hearing about the war. Sworn to tell the truth, she recounted her experiences despite facing numerous health challenges. Despite receiving unsettling news about a possible war from spies with little time to prepare, Golda Meir called for meetings, questioned potential outcomes, and pondered the future of Israel from every angle, bearing the responsibility for the lives of millions. After the meeting, it was announced that the armies of both Egypt and Syria had launched an offensive attack against Israel with the aim of inflicting high levels of suffering and utter destruction over Yom Kippur. Golda, a politician and not a soldier, must now meet with various leaders in power, including the military, to make tough decisions about how Israel will respond to the attacks. This includes deciding whether to risk the lives of soldiers. "Golda" is a drama and historical war film directed by Guy Nattiv, who is known for directing films such as "Skin" (2018) and "Strangers" (2003). The movie is likely to appeal to those interested in history or war. However, viewers who are not interested in these topics may find the film dull and drawn-out. Much of the slow-paced plot revolves around conversations, shots of wars, Golda's health struggles, and moments of solace while smoking. It seems that many viewers might lose interest as Golda moves from one conversation to another and meets with different leaders. While the premise suggested something emotionally engaging, unfortunately, it failed to leave a lasting impression on me. Overall, Golda will interest those who enjoy history, drama, and war-related content. Helen Mirren's performance is pleasing but not particularly striking. While the film provides detailed information and a compelling story, the pacing and flow are uninteresting. Despite the expectation of emotional engagement and intensity, I found myself disengaged and unmotivated. Golda is a shallow feature that falls short of its potential. * This review has been written for Sanity.
