Review of Woman in Gold (2015) by Eliasc — 26 May 2015

I almost skipped this one after reading the many less than stellar comments about this film. Luckily I ignored them and thoroughly enjoyed this well-made film. If you are familiar with the actual story, you will notice the missing details that would have made a more exciting and compelling film, but the performances of Helen Mirren, Ryan Reynolds, and the rest of the fine cast more than makes up for the lack of details and the significance of the lawsuits and court decisions.

This historical real life drama is filmmaking at it's best and the perfect antidote for all of those trashy comic book films that have invaded the theaters.
