Wallach does a superb job of painting the historical and political scene in which Gertrude lived and worked, particularly once she committed herself to Mesopotamia. Wallach succeeds in making accessible the complex tribal relationships, the exotic names, and shifting allegiances. This is a superb primer of how the modern Middle East began.

QUEEN OF THE DESERT isn't as awful as some people have made it out to be but at the same time you can't help but call it a complete misfire on many levels. I think the majority of the blame has to go to Herzog's screenplay because this is a film about one of the most interesting women in the world and yet there's nothing interesting about her told here. For the life of me I can't figure out why this film only looks at her love life and outside of some narration, we'd never know what made her special.

Be it Valentine’s Day, or any other day where you want to treat yourself (or your honey) to a little…well, sugar - this chocolate cake, with its gooey centre and picture-perfect presentation, is a no-brainer. All my baking quandaries go out the window when I roll up my sleeves to make this one. Serve with ice cream, fresh berries, or just perfectly on its own." I love the imperfection in her. This book does well to portray her in the best light, but you can't help but notice the pervasiveness of her flaws.

February 6, 2015 . Retrieved February 7, 2015. I'm pretty sure Herzog was wanting to make an old'fashion epic with a strong leading lady. The problem here is that the screenplay is just deadly boring and none of the emotions the film works for are ever gotten. There's no romance, no drama, no comedy. There's really nothing here to be connected to and you basically just sit there wondering how such a film could go so wrong. At 128-minutes the film really drags in spots and it's just a real shame that the end result was so bland. Werner Herzog Wants to Crown Naomi Watts Queen of the Desert". vulture.com .
