Nicholas Winton is a retired stockbroker whose peace of mind is marred only by his wife demanding that he sort through decades of piles of papers. Among them, however, there is something incredible: a notebook with personal details of 669 Jewish children saved by young Nicholas, who had taken them out of Prague in 1938. Once in the public eye, the story becomes a sensation.

Shot from One Life, 2023

Perhaps the most dialled-down performance the actor has given in years, Hopkins perfectly etches an arc from grief and regret towards self-forgiveness, hinting at a form of PTSD without ever over-playing his hand.

— Ian Freer, TimeOut

Based on true events, the film confidently manages to portray both eras, and Anthony Hopkins plays the elderly Winton with nobleness and dignity rare even for this great actor.
