The drama "Woman in Gold" opens today in theaters, and to mark the occasion we have five new clips. Based on a true story, the film follows the struggles of Maria Altmann (Helen Mirren), an octogenarian Jewish refugee, who takes on the government to recover artwork she believes rightfully belongs to her family. Directed by Simon Curtis ("My Week With Marilyn"), the film also stars Ryan Reynolds, Daniel Bruhl, Katie Holmes, Charles Dance, Elizabeth McGovern and Frances Fisher. Much like this week's period drama "Effie Gray", critics are having mixed feelings about this one. While the cast's performances have been praised, the film seems to suffer from the same kind of bland retelling of a true story.
Watch the clips after the jump.
Official Synopsis
"Academy Award winner Helen Mirren stars in the incredible story of Maria Altmann, a Jewish refugee who is forced to flee Vienna during World War II. Decades later, determined to salvage some dignity from her past, Maria has taken on a mission to reclaim a painting the Nazis stole from her family: the famous Lady In Gold, a portrait of her beloved Aunt Adele. Partnering with an inexperienced but determined young lawyer (Ryan Reynolds), Maria embarks on an epic journey for justice 60 years in the making."
