Critic Reviews of "Desert Flower"
Seattle TimesMarch 31, 2011Written and directed by German filmmaker Sherry Hormann, it works as well as it does because of the performances she's drawn from a solid cast.
Chicago Sun-TimesMarch 31, 2011It has a compelling message and surrounds it with biopic scenes that appear to be brought in from a different kind of movie. The effect is rather unsettling.
New York ObserverMarch 23, 2011Waris Dirie is an inspiration, inside and out, and so is this movie.
New York TimesMarch 18, 2011"Desert Flower," a well-made film that depicts the remarkable life of the model Waris Dirie, manages to be both a classic feel-good story and about as far from a feel-good story as you can get.
Film Journal InternationalAugust 15, 2011This inspiring story of a nomad-turned-model is executed in the style of a made-for-TV movie.
OregonianMarch 31, 2011Waris' saga is one that needs to be told, but this well-meaning dramatization might have had more power if it were a documentary.
Slant MagazineMarch 20, 2011The film's unabashed willingness to go from bleak topical piece on genital mutilation to guilty-pleasure glamour can be disconcerting.
Back StageMarch 18, 2011A stirring story that mixes personal horror, courage and eventually triumph.
