Reviews
“The truth, if there is still space between the women, is bitter: Natalia Wörner's amateur spy shows hardly anything of the legendary wickedness, it is not very clear what her man-murderous appeal is supposed to stem from. As Mata Hari, Frau Wörner is too much the Swabian housewife who goes to the belly dance group in Rottweil on Thursdays; in the Far East, in Sumatra and with Shiva it never was, but that's how television works. "
“The docudrama tries to take a sober look at historical events. Instead of lurid sex scenes, which the life of the agent known to this day would give, 'Mata Hari' is interested in a classification of the events that is as true to the facts as possible. For war scenes interspersed in between, the ARD production uses archive recordings, and director and author Kai Christiansen has also tried to ensure historical accuracy. "
