"Woman in Gold" Reviews
Perfection
This movie is just
flawless in any category; acting, cinematography, sound, locations,
story flow. Helen Mirren is of course the star but everybody else
involved were perfect also. Telling the young woman's life story, their
hair-raising escape from Nazi occupation, and at the same time
describing the red tape involved in trying to get back stolen family
property by the Nazi's 50 years prior is just a stunning accomplishment.
But, the icing on the cake, which they could have ignored, is how most
of the population of Austria (and other European countries) colluded
with the Nazi's.
This is such an incredible movie, it should be required screening in high schools, it should never be forgotten what happens when hate and prejudice team up with apathy. No graphic violence is required to get the message across - classy all the way.
