Entertainment Reviews:
Gertrude Bell's story is fascinating and deserves to get a big screen treatment. Unfortunately this is not the movie that does justice to her influence.

Rating: 2/5 --
Queen of the Desert has the note of a travelogue about it -- that is to say, it feels well-travelled, but not well-lived.

CineVue
Rating: 1/4 --
An emotionally empty, thematically ill-defined, and listless affair. It is never able to communicate the complexity of the woman at its center.

Bell was an extraordinary figure, tailor-made for a dazzling presence like Kidman, but Werner Herzog, directing his own script, unwisely structures Bell's story around her intimate relationships with men.

Chicago Reader
Herzog feels an obvious kinship with Bell’s independent spirit, a figure who broke the confines of her 'domesticated' upbringing so she could touch distant lands and discover herself.

The result is a well-made invitation to nod off.

It's an epic letdown to fans of Herzog's work and to his subject.
