  • Critic Reviews of "Desert Flower"

    Seattle Times
    March 31, 2011

    Written and directed by German filmmaker Sherry Hormann, it works as well as it does because of the performances she's drawn from a solid cast.

    Chicago Sun-Times
    March 31, 2011

    It has a compelling message and surrounds it with biopic scenes that appear to be brought in from a different kind of movie. The effect is rather unsettling.

    New York Observer
    March 23, 2011

    Waris Dirie is an inspiration, inside and out, and so is this movie.

    NPR
    March 18, 2011

    The broad comedy clashes with the movie's final message.

    New York Times
    March 18, 2011

    "Desert Flower," a well-made film that depicts the remarkable life of the model Waris Dirie, manages to be both a classic feel-good story and about as far from a feel-good story as you can get.

    New York Post
    March 18, 2011

    Good idea, mediocre presentation.

    Film Journal International
    August 15, 2011

    This inspiring story of a nomad-turned-model is executed in the style of a made-for-TV movie.

    Common Sense Media
    April 11, 2011

    Mature biopic has moving drama but lacks coherence.

    Oregonian
    March 31, 2011

    Waris' saga is one that needs to be told, but this well-meaning dramatization might have had more power if it were a documentary.

    Boxoffice Magazine
    March 22, 2011

    A gripping, if uneven, cinematic journey.

    Slant Magazine
    March 20, 2011

    The film's unabashed willingness to go from bleak topical piece on genital mutilation to guilty-pleasure glamour can be disconcerting.

    Back Stage
    March 18, 2011

    A stirring story that mixes personal horror, courage and eventually triumph.
