Good idea, mediocre presentation.
August 15, 2011
This inspiring story of a nomad-turned-model is executed in the style of a made-for-TV movie.
March 18, 2011
A stirring story that mixes personal horror, courage and eventually triumph.
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.

Mature biopic has moving drama but lacks coherence.
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.

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.

A gripping, if uneven, cinematic journey.

Waris Dirie is an inspiration, inside and out, and so is this movie.
March 20, 2011
The film's unabashed willingness to go from bleak topical piece on genital mutilation to guilty-pleasure glamour can be disconcerting.

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

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.
