Helen Mirren is outstanding, as always! I love the topic, where art, politics, and sentimentality converge.

Fascinating true story that is elevated by presence of Helen Mirren as Maria Altmann and, yes, Ryan Reynolds (who proves he can do drama as well as Deadpool) as a young lawyer taking on a massive international case. The modern-day trial to rightfully return a famous Klimt painting is juxtaposed with the growing Nazi threat in Austria (with Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany playing the young Altmann). It is both moving and inspirational and certainly recommended.
