There is a chapter in history worth exploring here, but this film is not the one to do it.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.Whenever a screen performer held in high esteem with a long career of outstanding work finds themselves trying to fight free of a slog of a film, there becomes something fascinating in watching their attempt. Even when they succeed, it just lays bare how the rest of the experience is itself not up to the challenge.
Written by Nicholas Martin and directed by Guy Nattiv, who previously made the Oscar-winning short Skin, Golda is a film in which everything from the dialogue to the staging of the scenes is stodgy. It is not that the film mostly being talky is an issue as Christopher Nolan’s colossal Oppenheimer from last month proved that something interesting can be found in the pace of the editing in how all this is constructed.
This non-diegetic insert, almost feeling familiar to elements of last year’s evocative and grim The Stranger, falls flat when she then sucks it all back in. Anything more potentially striking just gets swallowed up by the standard way everything else comes together. A more disquieting score, which could have taken hold like Mica Levi’s did in Jackie, instead is still oddly held at a distance.
'Golda' Is Insipid Rather Than Insightful Also in the picture is Liev Schreiber's portrayal of a middle-aged Henry Kissinger who talks with Golda on the phone before coming to visit her in person about an hour in. The scene the two share is the film’s best and feels like it is getting at something more, establishing how the world as we know it today is shaped by such conversations, especially when monstrous men like Kissinger are involved.
