  Woman in Gold was a captivating movie based on a gripping true story that I knew nothing about. Helen Mirren's role as Maria Altmann was very powerful. Tatiana Maslany played a charming role of a younger Maria Altmann during the war. Ryan Reynolds' role as a passionate lawyer was excellent. The Woman In Gold is a stunning painting that I now want to someday see as it now hangs in a dazzling museum.

  This was a fabulous true story, historical, suspenseful, and heart-wrenching. The stand out performance was Tatiana Maslany with a predictably wonderful performance from Helen Mirren. Ryan Reynolds was mesmorizing in a dramatic role. He just keeps getting better and better. As a Klimt fan, I couldn't get enough of his painting of Adele Bloch-Bauer. I actually wished this movie was longer than its 109 min. GO SEE IT!!!

  Based on a true story, Helen Mirren is excellent in the role of Maria Altmann who takes on the Austrian government over a dearly loved family painting that had been seized by the Nazis in WW2. Canadian Tatiana Maslany plays the younger Maria in flash backs while Canadian Ryan Reynolds in the young lawyer and family friend who battles for her against all odds. The film indeed captures this amazing story of the battle for the famous painting by Klimt.

  ... cinematography. The film goes back and forth effortlessly between the 1930s and the 2000s - it's a pleasure to watch the excellent editing and cinematography. At times it was very emotional as the film showed Maria's struggle with her emotions in being forced to relive the past, and then being surprised at the wonderful memories of her young life with her family and her favourite Aunt Adele. And there's a happy ending of course as the Klimt painting "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer" - the original name - is now in the Neue Galerie museum in New York. Several other actors in brief roles were also a delight: Charles Dance, Jonathan Pryce, Elizabeth McGovern, Canadian actress Tatiana Maslany

  Saw advance screening of "Woman in Gold" last night – thanks Tribute! Wonderful film. Of course Helen Mirren is superb. Ryan Reynolds is also very good as the determined young lawyer who helps her in the long legal proceedings in Austria and the U.S. to try and have the Gustav Klimt 1906 painting of her Aunt Adele Bloch-Bauer (and several other Klimt paintings) that the Nazis stole from her family returned to her. At the time, "The Woman in Gold" painting was considered the Mona Lisa of Austria, so the Austrian government put up quite the fight to keep it. The film goes back and forth effortlessly between the 1930s and the 2000s - it's a pleasure to watch the excellent editing and cinematog

  Good performance by Helen meurren. Good story line and portrayal of life during war time regarding nazies and the confiscation of art. Scenic view of Vienna was excellent and architecture.

  A great movie with Helen Mirren delivering really awesome punch lines and a true hommage to 90's tech. I think it's a simple story about a woman trying to reclaim a painting belonging to a family and doesn't try to be anything more than that. Definitely something worth watching on a rainy day.

  I didn't mind the movie, I like movies based on a true story and historical as well. I like how Helen's character was shown as a child and how the Gold woman came to be.

  The flashbacks to Nazi occupation of Austria are perfect for the audience to understand what happen in that period of history. As well for Maria the flashbacks are cathartic both painful and healing as she confronts her past. This was a powerful movie with Helen Mirren giving a brilliant performance. Today I have told all my friends to see this film as one I highly recommend.
