This movie poignant at times, yet inspirational and uplifting, was a remarkably good story. The final outcome bestowed a modicum of justice on many who had been deprived of so much by the Nazi thugs. Helen Mirren was, as ever, brilliant in her portrayal of Maria Altmann and Ryan Reynolds' performance, playing her justice-seeking, tenacious young lawyer, was note-worthy. The cinematography was especially wonderful!

Both my friend and I thought the movie was superb and worthy of five stars. As a European with Jewish family members I was touched by the horrors of what they went through. Being an art aficionado, I enjoyed the theme of the painting and the story behind it and was disturbed by the underhanded way the committee operated.
The sub story of how Maria goes through the different emotions and the changing relationship between her and her lawyer was realistic and interesting.
Helen Mirren's acting was wonderful as usual and I was pleasantly surprised by Ryan Reynolds. It is a movie that left me thinking and that I would highly recommend.

Great show- great story, no sex or violence, just emotion, and expression and REAL feeling expressed throughout.. I LOVE Helen Mirren-- I had no doubt at all that she was actually Maria in real life-- not acting, and Ryan was just simply sweet and believable. And the fact that it was based on a true story, makes it one of my favourites this year so far!!!

Well acted, well written and excellent production of a historically significant event in our time that drew us in as the story progressed. Definitely not the kind of film some people would want to see, but a totally engrossing film that touched all the emotions. We thoroughly enjoyed the movie and welcome any future opportunities. 5 out of 5.
