NEW THIS WEEK
This
romantic period drama stars Jessica Chastain as Antonina, the wife of the Warsaw
Zookeeper in Poland at the start of World War II. When their country is
overtaken by the Nazis, the couple begins covertly working with the Resistance
Movement to help protect and evacuate as many innocent people as possible.
We Said: “The
Zookeeper's Wife holds the distinction of being one of the few
Holocaust movies seen almost entirely from a female perspective, which may
explain why it's also one of the least despairing and most romantic. The
maternal spirit that shines through is one that embraces humans and animals
alike. In the end, we can learn a lot from our animal friends. As Antonina
says, ‘You look in their eyes and you know exactly what is in their hearts.’”Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Acclaimed
director Terrence Malick’s latest film tells the sprawling story of two young
couples (Rooney Mara and Ryan Gosling, and Michael Fassbender and Natalie
Portman), all of whom aspire to work in the music industry.
We Said: “Basically the same
damn movie as [Director Terrence Malick’s last film] Knight of Cups, only
replacing the shady excesses of Hollywood for the equally corrupting music
industry, it's another example of a director who should have quit while he was
ahead because now he's little more than a punchline.” Rating: 2 out of 5
