Jessica Kiang: Berlin Review: Werner Herzog’s ‘Queen Of The Desert’ Starring Nicole Kidman, James Franco, Robert Pattinson, And More. In: indiewire.com. Indiewire, 6. Februar 2015, abgerufen am 1. Januar 2022 (englisch): „Jessica Kiang of Indiewire in her review said that ‘Queen of the Desert’ is such a disappointment when you consider the wild portraits of pioneers that Herzog has given us before, that he's so reverent here.” And praising the cast added that “(Pattinson, out of all) of the actors not overwhelmed by the heavy sense” and “(Lewis) who handles the role of the married consul, whose amused admiration for Bell flares into love with a deftness that had us palpably relaxing during his scenes.“
