Hatvan évvel azután, hogy a második világháború borzalmai elől menekülve elhagyta Bécset, az idős zsidó asszony, Maria Altmann (Helen Mirren) hosszú útra kel, hogy visszaszerezze a nácik által elrabolt családi kincseit, köztük Klimt híres festményét, Adele Bloch-Bauer I. portréját. Tapasztalatlan, de vakmerő fiatal ügyvédjével, Randy Schönberggel (Ryan Reynolds) hosszas küzdelem elé néznek, amelynek csataterét az osztrák elit világa és az amerikai legfelsőbb bíróság jelenti. Az út során Mariának a családjához kötődő, súlyos tényekkel is szembe kell néznie. A Hölgy aranyban igaz történet, egy asszony küzdelme, hogy visszaszerezze örökségét és igazságot szolgáltasson családjának. (Fórum Hungary)

The environment offers an interesting story premise by default. Jewish stories from the eras of both world wars are never anything to be sniffed at and they’re usually full of emotions. But not when it comes to Woman in Gold where there are two timelines; one from the past and one from the present. The past one is fairly well-done and I don’t have anything against it, but the one from the present is awfully dull and the court trial really put the cherry on top. So, I’ve got nothing left to do than be thankful for the solid acting performances. But that’s the only thing worth noticing about this movie.

An important film, ideally suited to the collage of celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Klimt's (and Schiele's) death. Sometimes it is simply important to make a formally (un)ordinary project to repeat an appeal that is still valid and that would not bear experimental parables. The Anschluss in art has taken many forms and I hope it will take many more. In addition to the film, I can also recommend Anne-Marie O'Connor's novel of the same name, subtitled "The Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer."

Too bad it's such a standard and unsurprising film (even for those who don't know anything about the real story), because the subject matter and cast are more than enticing and easy to watch. Also, I'm not sure if the filmmakers wanted the viewer to think about whether or not it was even right for the paintings to leave Austria.

This movie has weak points and there are scenes that are unnecessarily intense and are only given for effect, but that didn't bother me. I enjoyed the film, among other things, because the whole story is incredibly interesting, both from the perspective of the court and from the perspective of escaping from Austria before the Nazis. I have no complaints about the acting performances. I constantly believe in Ryan and he repays my faith here.
