Critic Reviews of "Letters from Baghdad"
Minneapolis Star TribuneJune 22, 2017This 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.
Los Angeles TimesJune 08, 2017In an age of a rebooted "Wonder Woman," Bell is the real thing, intrepid, fierce and smart.
Washington PostJune 08, 2017It provides a sturdy, often exhilarating bridge between the present and a past that not only isn't distant, but isn't even really past.
VarietyJune 03, 2017A carefully researched documentary that uses an extraordinary wealth of appealing archival footage accompanied by Tilda Swinton's voiceover as Bell.
TheWrapJune 02, 2017But although Bell herself is fascinating, Letters From Baghdad is less so.
Blu-ray.comJune 21, 2017It's a portrait of a complex woman that respects her achievements but ultimately adores her courage.
San Francisco ExaminerJune 16, 2017While Bell deserves a more comprehensive portrait, this documentary brings her into vivid focus and captures the world she inhabited.
Spirituality and PracticeJune 02, 2017An exquisite documentary on the extraordinary life and work of Gertrude Bell.
The Young FolksJune 01, 2017But despite its shortcomings, Letters from Baghdad is one of the rare documentaries which is in itself an aesthetic achievement.
Film Journal InternationalJune 01, 2017A fascinating documentary about Gertrude Bell, frequently dubbed "the female Lawrence of Arabia," that could have been even better with more exposition and historical context.
Daily Express (UK)April 23, 2017Her 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.
