Anthony Hopkins portrays humanitarian Nicholas Winton in the moving drama One Life. Directed by James Hawes, the movie dramatises Winton's brave efforts to evacuate Jewish children from Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia at the onset of World War II.
The movie splits the difference between Winton as a younger man (played by Johnny Flynn) and an older, more reserved individual (played by Hopkins). Winton's achievements went largely unheralded until he was summoned to appear on Esther Rantzen's TV show That's Life when his philanthropic efforts were finally brought to public attention.
The movie is anchored by a raft of stirring performances, none more so than the veteran Hopkins who may be in line for his third Oscar. The movie played in advance for Unlimited members and we've rounded up several reactions that should inspire you to seek out One Life when it's released in January.
Incredibly powerful. I haven’t cried so much over a film in ages. From Nicolas Winton’s first visit to the Prague refugees to that memorable moment in the TV studio I didn’t stop sobbing.

Both heartwarming and heartbreaking in equal measure. Anthony Hopkins was just amazing in his role and I would be happy to watch it again on it's release.

Cried during a film for the first time in almost thirty years, last time the trigger was a funeral scene shortly after my father died
