Knew absolutely nothing about the legendary Nicholas Winton until someone recently told me. Then when this movie came out others praised it. So i had to check it out.
The film switches from an older Winton during the 80's played by Anthony Hopkins. As well as by a younger Johnny Flynn In 1938. Who at some angles is a spot on match for a young Hopkins. The movie shows the heroic stuff Winton carried out. While an older Hopkins years later shows that he was very proud about having done anything.
Its great that the movie tells this guys story as we should all remember him. But I've got to be honest about the film and say it took me a while to get into it, as it has quite a slow start. Once you get to that last half hour or so though you'll need the hankies. As it becomes a more and more emotional watch. Definitely a decent if not amazing tribute to the man.
