Alien at the Movies

Golda

This film follows Prime Minister Golda Meir (Helen Mirren) during those tense 19 days in 1973 of the Yom Kippur War where the Egyptian & Syrian armies were advancing on Israel. On the brink of destruction, Golda Meir in her war room with her cabinet had to navigate against extreme odds, great casualties & losses, & a complex relationship dealing with U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (Liev Schreiber). Mirren is terrific portraying Golda. This behind-the-scenes war movie may be less satisfying for those craving the thrill of action mayhem warfare. 

Alien gives it 2 “Sinai Peninsula & Golan Heights” stars out of 4.
