Sinopsis(1)
Han pasado sesenta años desde que Maria Altmann, una mujer judía, se vio en la obligación de huir de Viena debido al asedio nazi durante la II Guerra Mundial. Tras todos esos años fuera de su país, decide emprender un viaje para exigir el patrimonio que los nazis le robaron a su familia, entre lo que se encuentra una importante obra de Gustav Klim, el "Retrato de Adele Bloch-Baauer I". Para ayudarle en este largo y complicado camino, el joven abogado Randy Schoenberg lucha junto a ella para suplir la falta de experiencia de Altmann y llegar hasta la cúspide del gobierno de Austria y la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, el viaje es difícil y Maria debe enfrentarse a todos los secretos y verdades que se esconden en su pasado, y que ahora salen a la luz. (DeAPlaneta)

The film has weak spots and some scenes are unnecessarily exaggerated for effect, but that didn't bother me much. I enjoyed the film, partly because the entire story is incredibly interesting, both from the perspective of the trial and the escape from Austria before the Nazis. I have no complaints about the performances. I always believe in Ryan, and here he rewards my faith.

The environment offers an interesting story premise by default. Jewish stories from the eras of both world wars are never anything to be sniffed at and they’re usually full of emotions. But not when it comes to Woman in Gold where there are two timelines; one from the past and one from the present. The past one is fairly well-done and I don’t have anything against it, but the one from the present is awfully dull and the court trial really put the cherry on top. So, I’ve got nothing left to do than be thankful for the solid acting performances. But that’s the only thing worth noticing about this movie.

An important film, ideally suited to the collage of celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Klimt's (and Schiele's) death. Sometimes it is simply important to make a formally (un)ordinary project to repeat an appeal that is still valid and that would not bear experimental parables. The Anschluss in art has taken many forms and I hope it will take many more. In addition to the film, I can also recommend Anne-Marie O'Connor's novel of the same name, subtitled "The Extraordinary Tale of Gustav Klimt's Masterpiece, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer."

Too bad it's such a standard and unsurprising film (even for those who don't know anything about the real story), because the subject matter and cast are more than enticing and easy to watch. Also, I'm not sure if the filmmakers wanted the viewer to think about whether or not it was even right for the paintings to leave Austria.
