Woman in Gold (2015)
Directed by Simon
Curtis this film based on real events stars Helen Mirren, Ryan
Reynolds, Daniel Bruhl and Tatiana Maslany. In the late 1990s an
Austrian Jew that escaped to America before the Second World War
seeks the return of paintings stolen from her family by the Nazis.
While this is a good
watch it unfortunately strays from real events in disappointing ways.
As a piece of fiction it works well but I am not sure it adds any new
understanding to the way we view the Holocaust. Ryan Reynolds is a
bit of an odd fit for his role here but otherwise the casting is
good.
3/5
