Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOprah 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.
- GoofsWhen 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.
Featured review
It was a good choice after I have read all the positive critics here. This is a very emotional true story that is well told and never boring. There were good flashbacks where all the reconstructed scenes were originally and perfectly done. I felt to be in the movie. All the actors and especially Ryan Reynolds delivered a great job. Helen Mirren put as usual a special humor note into the ambiance. It seems this role is suited to her and nobody else. The music was wonderful and I had even some tears. This movie is much more better than the other ones about the stolen Jewish paintings from the Nazi. See it. 7/10
