Critic Reviews

The Guardian Alex von Tunzelmann

Garbo is deliciously watchable in this fictionalised but nonetheless well-researched biopic. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Set in WWI France, the film is Garbo's even before she appears on screen to dazzle her willing audience; once there, it becomes impossible to dissociate the legend of the star from the myth of Mata Hari. Read full review

Mordaunt Hall

George Fitzmaurice, the director, has told his story in an intelligent and restrained fashion. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Fitzmaurice directs with great style here and makes the most of the lavish production techniques available to him. Read full review

Empire David Parkinson

Not Garbo's greatest but it has a curious charm. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Though Garbo is sexy and hot in a less subtle way this time, and though the plot goes about as far as it can in situation warmth, the story presents nothing sensational. Read full review
