Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Most folks don’t know anything about Greta Garbo, so they’ll learn a few things from this movie. But only at the risk of getting really irritated. Rated: C May 22, 2025 Full Review Barbara Shulgasser Common Sense Media The question director Lorna Tucker asks in the title, Garbo: Where Did You Go? is a silly one that was answered decades before this film unnecessarily posed it.

David F A good, solid biography of the screen legend, which cuts through the myths to tell the story of Greta Garbo’s life with the help of people who knew her or are descended from people who knew her, along with letters, memoirs, photographs, old films, and the classic studio pictures she starred in. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Katherine C I wanted to scream at the narrator, the mask, and blond actress. Useless junk that got in the way of an interesting doc. Blah. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Simple M An embarrassing disservice to the screen legend by a filmmaker seemingly more intrigued with herself than the subject matter. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Robin L Someone decided to try an unorthodox and theatrical approach to this biography, and it's absolutely cringe inducing. Why? Couldn't they see that those parts clearly didn't work? They'd have done so much better to just show photos or film clips of her and have voice-overs that were blessedly free of being "acted". But if you're willing to suffer through the approach, there is information about Garbo that's worthwhile. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review P B If you cut out the terrible blond actress and the weird mask bullshit, you might have a pretty interesting 60 minute documentary. As it is, I quit 45 minutes in. I just couldn't endure it anymore. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Carlotta V I was intrigued to find out more about the mysterious Swedish Superstar. From the opening frames of the bizarre mask, to the absolutely dreadful acting and narrating by the blonde woman, it was so strange and unusual. She was also trying to act with her fingers while supposedly reading. (How did she get that part? Does she have incriminating Polaroids of the producer or something?) I thought, "Oh, we're in trouble here". I decided to power through anyway, but ultimately, Blondie was too much to bear. My head kept saying, "Somewhere, someone is sick of her S***". I turned it off after 25 minutes. It's not worth the effort. The director made a number of exceptionally bad choices on this project. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
