Every aspect of this movie was excellent. Cinematography, story, acting, casting, places to film, outfits - chef's kisses. The way they chose such similar people in different ages was incredible. And of course, what makes it even more special and amazing is that it was a real-life story. This woman, I have no words; she went through hell and back but still found sympathy and empathy in her heart to do all the noble things that she did. The way she helped in the Algerian case touched my heart. She's amazing, truly and very inspiring.
I love how they portrayed her personality as both strong and courageous, but at the same time, she would cry, she would collapse, and she hasn't gotten over her PTSD. It shows how incredible women are and how they shouldn't give up emotions for power; they can have both. We can cry and then rule the world. That's how it's supposed to be. Not only that, it showed how women's ability to feel and sympathize has so many benefits because if there wasn't this strong, kind-hearted woman in this situation, who would help the poor prisoners?
I loved her relationship with her husband; I'm so glad she found such a great supporter. But they didn't hide the fact that sometimes he can be selfish and can say things that are questionable. But the thing is, he never actually forced her to leave her work, and he didn't give up on her. My eyes still water thinking about them.
One thing I don't know if I liked is the transitions between the times; But it actually paid off at the end when I realized what she truly went through. I looked back at what she did and tied the strings together, and I was even more emotional about it.
Overall, an incredible movie. I will always be a sucker for a biography movie of powerful women.
