The Zookeeper's Wife (2017)

An average movie

“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for Jessica Chastain and since it was available on Netflix, I was quite eager to check it out. Well, even if it was a really inspiring tale, it turned out to be only a decent watch and not much more than that, I’m afraid.

"This film doesn't stand too high in a sea of better Holocaust films, but this is a really good drama and biopic, that is elevated by the committed performances. 7.2/10"
