Yesterday I saw the movie, The Zookeeper's Wife.
I have to say that this film was better than I thought it would be. The movie starts a bit before WWII in Poland, and to my satisfaction, not one british accent! Nope, just polish and german accents. That earned points in my book just for that. No offense to the brits, but it's nice to watch a film that takes place in a foreign nation, where the actors don't sound like they came from England (I'm looking at you Les Miserables).
The cinematography was well done. It had a crisp clean image, that is well appreciated. Along with a well thought out color scheme, that suits the film nicely.
The director, Niki Caro, seems to know exactly what she wanted to do with this film, and I must say kudos to her.
The protagonist of the film, Antonina Zabinski (played by: Jessica Chastin), reacts naturally to the situations that she goes through in the film. It is very believable how the character is portrayed.
Some scenes can be difficult to not react strongly too. I won't spoil the scene, but they show the before and after of what happens to one female character, and skips the middle, and it is a little hard seeing the after. You can't help but feel strong sympathy for many of the characters of this movie. Especially since it goes through part of the holocaust in Poland.
The films score blends perfectly with the film.
Now unfortunately there are some flaws with this film. Among them is that the plot can be a little predictable at times, and... wait... no... that's all I can think of for flaws at the time of writing this.
Overall I would recommend to anyone, to take the time and go and see this film.
finale score: 4.5/5
