One Life

(2023, Cert 12A, 1 hr 48 mins)

The true story of Sir Nicholas Winton, a young London stockbroker who, just before the outbreak of war in 1939, rescued 669 mainly Jewish children from the Nazis in Prague. Fifty years later, he is haunted by the fate of the children he was not able to bring to England and, looking for ways to tell his story, ends up appearing on the TV show That’s Life with Esther Rantzen. Starring Johnny Flynn as the younger, and Anthony Hopkins as the older Winton, with a strong supporting cast including Helena Bonham Carter, Romola Garai and Jonathan Pryce. 

“This is a superb performance: one in which Hopkins imbues every frame he is in with warmth and wit and sadness and charming British eccentricity. He switches between moments of genuine, laugh-out-loud levity and what are by far the most moving scenes in any film this year.”  The Standard

Left to their own devices in the empty school, there are adventures, a little calamity and finally, a semblance of family.
