Though Anthony Hopkins turns in another great late-career performance, this Holocaust drama is flimsy and conventional. Our One Life review:
The Holocaust is a subject that challenges cinema.
Such a story takes on particular resonance right now, as governments preside over various refugee crises and a resurgent far-right the world over foments animosity towards “the other.”is accessible: Hawes, a prolific director of television making his feature debut, brings the anonymous polish of popular TV drama.
Continuing a remarkable run of late-career performances, Hopkins plays Winton as an ordinary man with long-submerged trauma that’s just beginning to bubble to the surface. As in, he again breaks down in one late scene in an almost child-like howl of anguish.) It’s hard to recall another actor who, after a comparable career—over 60 years on screen, and more than 100 films—could still serve such honesty and freshness with this sort of regularity.
Still, come the end of Winton’s story, we’re left with more questions: Is it right that a film with this subject matter should treat the emotional journey of the rescuer as the most important one?’s central message is that acts of compassion reverberate across generations.
