The story of the brave zookeepers who risked everything out of the goodness of their hearts is a riveting and heartfelt story that needed to be experienced. While this film doesn’t tread any new cinematic ground, It does what needs to be done and it does it right. It does this without ever really getting overly sappy or overly sentimental. The film will pull at your emotions which is a good indication of a powerful film. The film has to have dark and sorrowful moments but it builds to something wonderful near the end. There are many moments in the film that are un-comfortable as you would expect with a Holocaust era film. It never loses a beat from start to finish and there are moments that really get you on the edge of your seat or cringe at some of the hard to swallow moments.

The film is two plus hours but just flies by. The score is powerful and really complements the films emotional moments well. Daniel Bruhl also excels in playing a despicable villain.

Jessica Chastain is fantastic as usual, accent and all. To top it all off, this is based on an incredible true story. She and her husband are appalled by the killings of Jews so they devise a strategy to house many people and transport them to freedom. Starring: Jessica Chastain, Johan Heldenbergh, Daniel Brhl. Her animals are either killed or taken away and her zoo becomes a bit of a docking station for German troops. When the Nazis invade Poland, Warsaw Zoo caretakers work with the underground resistance to save Jews from the horrors of the Third Reich. It is 1939 in Warsaw and her zoo gets invaded by Nazi forces. The film is about an audacious zookeeper played by Jessica Chastain. While part of that is true the zoo doesn’t have much to do with the premise of the film but is a key element in the rescue of hundred’ s of Jews during World War II in Warsaw, Poland. Don’t expect a lovely romantic film about the wife of a zookeeper. The title of the film may be misleading for some. A wonderful true story of optimism, heroism, kindness, and bravery.
