The Zookeeper's Wife
audience Reviews
, 76% Audience Score- Rating: 3 out of 5 starsWhy the zookeepers wife because it was Chastain? The husband took the greater risks. If you're a parent your first duty to your children is to keep them safe. The recklessness that this couple exposed their children to as written was hard to watch. The war ending, Chastain's character who has endured incredible deprivation and humiliation decides that she can't take any more and says "you disgust me" putting everything she had sacrificed fir at risk. But none of the family died even after they all were thrown to the winds. It was poetic license run amok for the sake of having a script have a proper beginning, middle and ending. Somehow when it's history it's doesn't seem proper to bastardize events like that simply to make a movie. That sort of story should have been left to the documentarian's.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 starsThe story is Zookeeper's wife saved many Jews during World War II. I like the movie because,We can think about how scary the war is. We can learn about important of help in people. I didn't understand German army because their handling for people is terrible. I want various people to see it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 starsThis story is a story that saves the Jews. Mr. Zabinski can really respect his actions, such as hiding people in the zoo to protect the Jews. I'm glad I learned a lot from watching this movie and I didn't know it
