One Life

Reflection, emotion, and apprehension. These were some of the feelings I experienced during the movie "One Life." Featuring a stellar cast including Anthony Hopkins, Romola Garai, and Helena Bonham Carter, the film revolves around the protagonist, Nicholas Winton. The movie interweaves fragments of the protagonist's life as a young adult and elderly man. It leaves room for curiosity, as the elderly Nicholas speaks of something that went wrong in the past, but we haven't yet seen the young version face that situation. The ending is simply moving, and his life story is a reflection for all of us! After all, we always find excuses to do nothing, but an ordinary man with a genuine desire to help children managed to mobilize a country!

Besides all the production merits the movie has, there is one big message with profound relevance for today turbulent times. The Helena Bonham Carter's character says it all when she praises about the decency and kindness once distinguished British society (and at a lesser grade, the rest of the civilized world)

A beautiful film and story.

It felt all too ernest for my taste. My wie and I watched for about 20 minutes before deciding we wanted to go on to something else. Perhaps we'll give it another chance tonight since our rental is for too days.

Incredible emotionally charged true story of how one person's courage and caring of strangers can make a difference for generations to come. Anthony Hopkins was perfect in his role as the elder Nicky. A tear jerker not only for the children who did not make it But also the miracle of those who did. Inspirational with the hope of good people risking their lives against the backdrop of evil wanting to murder them

You’ll cry the entire way through. But the good cries.

Incredible film demonstrating good overcomes evil no matter how dire the circumstances. Anthony Hopkins delivers another amazing performance, so relevant in light of today's world events.

A great must-watch film based on a true story. Hopkins was great as always and the entire movie was a great watch and very interesting.

Anthony Hopkins is phenomenal in this gut wrenching movie about the Nazis overtaking Czech-Republic.

Anthony Hopkins is an incredible actor. He pinpoints the story that needs to be told so well and makes you feel you are watching the real person conversing with another. They gave a lot of respect to the story and showed how so many unknown stories are out there that need to be told and how beautifully cinema can bring light to them!
