Movie reviews: Golda (2023) starring Helen Mirren is bad timing for biopic about an Israeli prime minister and Fremont (2023) is a sad tale of Afghan refugees in America

, the bio-pic about former Israeli prime minister Golda Meir, who led her country through the Yom Kippur War of 1973, which began after a surprise attack from Arab neighbours Egypt and Syria. The film arrives at a time when another intransigent Israeli prime minister is waging war on another Arab enemy, as a result of another surprise attack. Beyond this point, it might be better to emphasise the differences rather than the similarities.

Although it may seem Benjamin Netanyahu’s government was similarly ill-prepared for the terrorist attack of October 7, it’s here the comparisons diverge. There’s one vaguely amusing scene when Golda plays the Jewish mother, making Kissinger eat a plate of borscht, but try as I might, I couldn’t believe in Schreiber in this role. Maybe they should have had another crack with the prosthetics.
