Helen Mirren and Ryan Reynolds in Woman in Gold (2015)
Sixty years after she fled Vienna during World War II, an elderly Jewish woman, Maria Altmann, starts her journey to retrieve family possessions seized by the Nazis, among them Klimt's famous painting 'The Lady in Gold'. Together with her inexperienced but plucky young lawyer Randy Schoenberg, she embarks upon a major battle which takes them all the way to the heart of the Austrian establishment and the U.S. Supreme Court, and forces her to confront difficult truths about the past along the way.

    • Trivia
      Oprah Winfrey was, for ten years, the owner of Gustav Klimt's second-most-famous portrait of the subject of the painting unofficially known as "Woman in Gold." The second most famous Klimt portrait of Bloch-Bauer was officially titled "Adele Bloch-Bauer ll." Winfrey reportedly bought the painting anonymously in 2006, when Christie's sold it at auction for $87.9 million, during the same auction session when the subject of this film was sold, along with four other Klimt paintings owned by Maria Altmann's family. In 2016, Winfrey sold the 54"x54" painting, "Adele Bloch-Bauer II," to a Chinese collector for $150 million.
    • Goofs
      When Randy Schoenberg is before the Supreme Court, he is shown being asked a convoluted question by Chief Justice William Rehnquist, whereupon Schoenberg admits he doesn't understand it. That question was actually posed by Justice David Souter. The reaction from the other justices, who also didn't understand the question, was accurately depicted.
    • Quotes

      Randol Schoenberg: It's hard to believe Hitler once applied to be an art student here.

      Maria Altmann: I wish they'd have accepted him.

    A triumphant journey
    This film tells the story of a old woman who moved to USA to escaped Nazi rule in Austria when she was young. She finds documentary proof in her late sister's belongings that several priceless paintings are stolen from her family, and are now in the possession of a state museum.

    "Woman in Gold" is a beautiful film because it's a journey of three people working hard for a common goal for slightly different reasons. I'm impressed by the lawyer's enthusiasm in taking up Maria's case. He shows much dedication and professionalism. Maria's goal to take back the paintings is to keep memories alive, which is very touching. The atmosphere of the film is kept quite serious but not sombre, which is not easy for a film about the persecution of Jews. Overall, I think this film portrays a triumphant journey, and is very touching.
