WOMAN IN GOLD
Biography/Drama/History (2015) – Rated M JUSTICE IS PRICELESS Woman in Gold is an audience-pleaser, and a highly effective one at that. It recounts the case of Maria Altmann, an elderly woman living in Los Angeles with claim to one of artist Gustav Klimt’s most famous paintings, engaging in a lengthy legal battle with Austria for its return. The case involved heated behind the scenes negotiations, substantial research, and, most pointedly, physical endurance. Director Simon Curtis (My Week with Marilyn) respects the sensitivity of the fight, but he’s not above staging a few moments of broad villainy, which include Nazi atrocities and impatient courtroom behaviour. The film captures the spirit of Altmann’s quest with efficiency, making for a drama with deeply felt performances, and is defined by its amazing true story and extended courtroom war.
But the real heart of the film remains in private moments of reflection and the ongoing acceptance of the past; giving the picture an earned emotional punch to go with its legal hostility. (from Brian Orndorf – Blu-ray.com)
