It's an underdog story tailor-made for the movies, devoid of surprises but touching all the same.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 22, 2015

It won't do the film any harm at the box office that Helen Mirren twinkles indomitably. She's as good as ever, but really - of all the things you want to see Dame Helen doing indomitably, twinkling isn't among them.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2015

Helen Mirren is, of course, a wonderful actress, and she brings dignity to the marvellously Euro-chic Maria, but even she can't soar above the script which veers from speechifying to banalities.

Take a complex legal issue like the provenance of an art object, then throw in Helen Mirren and the Nazis as the hero and villains, and you have the dull and simplified tale of Woman in Gold.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 9, 2015

Sometimes you know a movie is going to work in about the first three scenes. This one really works.

| Apr 9, 2015

Mirren's performance gains in depth and pathos as the film progresses.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 9, 2015

There is much to recommend in Woman in Gold.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 9, 2015

There's a terrible and relentless 온라인카지노추천-movie ropiness about this film, combined with a dairy whiff of cheesiness.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 9, 2015

Despite a debatable focus and dubious moralizing -money plays a pivotal role in the final outcome - "The Woman in Gold" works, largely because of the odd-couple chemistry between Mirren and Reynolds.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 9, 2015

Helen Mirren has become like Meryl Streep: nearly every time she has a leading role a little alarm goes off that signals Oscar gold.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 8, 2015

Director Simon Curtis is lucky to have Helen Mirren on hand, since she can turn the film's art history speeches into something that sounds like conversation. But the screenplay doesn't do either of them any favors.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 3, 2015

Director Simon Curtis milks the predictable drama, thrills and heartache of the Holocaust-era story, but it's a paint-by-numbers triumph, a copy of something we've seen many times before.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 3, 2015

"Woman in Gold" may be a bit obvious, but it's still a story worth telling.

| Original Score: C+ | Apr 3, 2015

Next to Mirren, [Reynolds is] like a dope in a museum, trying to be respectful of the genius around him but unable to sit still.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 2, 2015

For all its broad brush strokes, Woman in Gold can't help but tell a moving populist parable about the will to power of an ordinary woman ... taking on powerful institutions to regain a tiny fraction of her family's appalling losses.

| Apr 2, 2015

A wholly captivating Mirren makes Woman in Gold a positive film-going experience...

| Apr 2, 2015

A movie that tells a real-life story yet rings utterly false.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 2, 2015

The Nazis' illegal seizure of hundreds of thousands of artworks -- the subject of the fine 2006 documentary The Rape of Europa -- becomes the pretext for heavy-handed sentimentality in this British-American docudrama.

| Apr 2, 2015

Mirren is the single reason to watch the movie.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 2, 2015

Based on a true story about a fight for justice wrapped in passion, memory and determination, and told using the considerable talents of Helen Mirren, Woman in Gold should be a much better movie.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 2, 2015
