- Quotes
Antonina Zabinski: You can never tell who your enemies are, or who to trust. Maybe that's why I love animals so much. You look in their eyes, and you know exactly what's in their hearts. They're not like people.

loved it
The Zookeeper's Wife, a poignant symphony of courage and compassion. Jessica Chastain's performance as Antonina Zabinska was a masterclass in emotional depth, breathing life into a character whose strength resonated long after the credits rolled. The film editing wove a seamless narrative, navigating the delicate balance between heart-wrenching moments and the glimmers of hope that defined the Zabinskis' wartime experience. The movie's strength lies in its ability to portray the resilience of the human spirit amidst the darkest of times. While it occasionally felt like certain aspects were touched upon too lightly, the music served as a gentle yet powerful undertone, enhancing the emotional impact. The cinematography painted a vivid portrait of both the beauty and brutality of war-torn Warsaw. At 7/10, The Zookeeper's Wife is a moving testament to humanity's capacity for kindness in the face of adversity.
