The Woman in Gold
Academy Award winner Helen Mirren stars in the incredible true story of Maria Altmann, a Jewish refugee who is forced to flee Vienna during World War II. Decades later, determined to salvage some dignity from her past, Maria has taken on a mission to reclaim a painting the Nazis stole from her family: the famous Lady In Gold, a portrait of her beloved Aunt Adele. Partnering with an inexperienced but determined young lawyer (Ryan Reynolds), Maria embarks on an epic journey for justice 60 years in the making.
Critic Reviews:
- " Woman in Gold is just but one story in the ongoing battle for the return of stolen artwork during the Holocaust. " – Danielle Solzman
- " If there's a weak link, it is the script, which drifts toward tedious at times–something hard to imagine with this story. In the end, the performances and the subject create an inspirational film. " – Debbie Baldwin
- " A courtroom drama proves to be a stately change of pace for Reynolds. " – Leigh Paatsch
