Beautifully acted; haunting film. People should never forget what the Nazis did

Rating: 9/10 (23 January 2016)

Based on the true story of Maria Altmann (an Austrian born Jewish American) who took on the Austrian government to get back her family art unlawfully stolen by the Nazis.
The flashbacks sadden me for what happened and what is still happening to minorities (will people ever learn).
Both the young Maria and older Maria were fantastically cast with Dame Helen Mirren and Tatiana Maslany; both extremely talented and believable actors. They moved me and got me emotionally tied into the story. You were routing for her; you could also see why the older Maria had become a little blunt and stubborn. To me this was a defence mechanism to all that she had lost through the war and guilt she might have felt.
This movie brought a tear to my eye; powerful and stunning 9/10
