I found this story absolutely beautiful and touching, and I’m so glad that somebody decided to tell it. Chastain was wonderful and carried the movie all the way to the end. The English and accent didn’t even bother me. *Very good

A passable anti-Nazi drama. It's finely acted by Chastain but it's ultimately just a lesser Schindler's List.

I don't expect a non-documentaryto hit all the factual beats, so some fictionalized ones are okay. I don't know much about this story but from the little I've now read there are some things I wish could have been in here. The jump to Jan fighting the Nazis was really jarring and it's upsetting that they didn't build to that at all, but this is an emotional movie with good performances. Nice to see original WW2 tales in movies. Also, Antonina has my views on humans vs animals. Fuck humans.

Ridiculous accents on the english. Somewhat lacking in the acting and the dialog wasn't always 'there'. Buts still a really nice movie.

Not such a good execution, but I always appreciate warmovies like these. They are a reminder of things we should never forget. And hope we will never have to deal with anything like war, ever. Acting is alright, but not something to write home about. Story is not so good, but you get the point. 53/100.

All in all, The Zookeeper's Wife shows us an extraordinarily brave couple who give everything they have to help Jewish souls--300 the film tells us--escape the nightmarish fate threatened by the invading Nazis. It's an inspiring story, but one set during a dark, desperate and degrading moment of human history.

A great first act loses a ton of steam as the war rages on and very little changes. Chastain and Bruhl do a fantastic job to keep tensions high, but after they bring the first batch or refugees back to the Zoo it's a long haul to a weak climax.

This is strongly in the conversation of the best films I've seen all year to this point (mid-April). Jessica Chastain is utterly dominant in almost every second of screen time, and she is matched shot for shot by Daniel Bruhl who puts in what I would argue to be the performance of his career. This is an intense and vibrant film, and brutal when necessary. It perhaps beats an old drum in its narrative but when the drum itself is timeless, you can't ever hear it too often. Do yourself the favour.

Add the high level of historical accuracy (the Warsaw zoo was one of if not the best zoo in Europe at that time) to this latest example of inexplicable Nazi horror exposes, and its hard not to appreciate the endeavor.
