GamerTab That was an excellent one.
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
p_marzena 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.
