a touching tale

Rating: 8/10 (28 October 2015)

I will say that Helen Mirren seems to be one of those rare actress just like Meryl Streep that can make an average movie turn into something rather extraordinary. She plays Maria Altman an Austrian Jewish woman who was forced to flee her country and family with her husband Franz during the second world war. Maria is also dealing with the battle of the Austrian Art institute when she attempts to reclaiming a painting that belonged to her aunt that was nicknamed the Woman in Gold. With the help of her lawyer Randy, she attempts to get back the paintings that was rightfully hers and stolen from Nazis during the war. I would say that I would recommend this movie for fans who love history and art.
