Viewing Notes

Features ScarJo, Nastassja Kinski, and Tony Goldwyn and popped up on FLIXe when I was channel-surfing killing time before a football game. This early appearance by a young Scarlett Johansson had me intrigued. It’s based on the true story of director/writer Éva Gárdos and her family’s plight to escape Hungary after the war. Not a bad watch with decent acting all around.
