Wonderful surprise!

PLOT
The film is based on the true story of the late Maria Altmann, an elderly Jewish refugee living in Los Angeles, who, together with her young lawyer, Randy Schoenberg, fought the government of Austria for almost a decade to reclaim Gustav Klimt's iconic painting of her aunt, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, which was stolen from her relatives by the Nazis in Vienna just prior to World War II. Altmann took her legal battle all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States.

REVIEW
This is an incredible interesting movie where history, art, legal and personal matter come together beautifully. The acting from Helen and Ryan is great, also the cinematography, locations, story flow, the script. One of the biggest surprises of the 2015 movies! Watch it. 5-/5
