Anna Panquin carries this film: It is a workmanlike film, with good production values, dialogue and pacing, but she transforms it into something great. Not the finely polished major studio work of 'Schindler's list' but deeply credible and moving. She expresses so much, so well, it i shard not to cry at the story around her. I found it of a similar quality to the 'Pianist' but a bigger, much more important story.
This is a story of an ordinary person, in an extraordinatry time. This is a story of the little way, one for everyday people. I am glad Irena Sendler's story is known: It is a story that deserves, no, needs to be remembered.
