Golda

About This Movie

Golda (2019) offers a rare glimpse into the mind of Golda Meir, captured in her twilight years. The documentary feels almost voyeuristic, with that intimate air as the camera keeps rolling long after the formal interview ends. Golda's candidness, often punctuated by her lighting up cigarette after cigarette, creates a smoky atmosphere that feels both personal and political. You can sense her mixture of pride and regret, which adds a complex layer to her reflections on her time in power. There's a certain rawness to her honesty, almost a vulnerability you don't expect from a political figure. The pacing allows us to sit with her thoughts, making it a deep dive into the psyche of a woman who ruled a nation during tumultuous times.
