Golda covers Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir (Helen Mirren) and her cabinet during the Yom Kippur War. From the decision whether or not to mobilize troops (there had been previous false alarms as the Arab states tried to wear down Israeli economy), then sending them in unsuccessful attacks due to new Arab tactics, relieving Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan (Rami Heuberger) when he had a breakdown, calling and playing hardball with US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger (Liev Schreiber) in order to get military aid, to the final cease fire, we see Meir as an aging leader being strong for her country whilst the death eats at her inside.

It's a small movie and a drama but I still like the behind the scenes of the Israeli cabinet during the war. This is one of the rare films I watched all the way through in one go.
