Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Very inspiriting story of brave hearts of Polish catholic women. Between 1939 and 1945, Irena Sendler, a young Polish Catholic social worker, led a daring conspiracy of young catholic women who saved thousands of Jewish children from certain death. Yet little was known about them until recently. Participants in the Polish Resistance, they were viewed as a threat to the Communists who took over Poland in 1945 and their stories and many others were suppressed for decades. Now American filmmaker Mary Skinner, the daughter of a Warsaw war orphan, brings their remarkable saga to life in Irena Sendler In the Name of Their Mothers. The extraordinary film features 95-year-old Irena Sendler in the last interviews she gave before she died in 1998, together with her co-workers and the Jewish children they saved.
