One Life may be a nudge to the audience, as if to say that Nicholas Winton’s compassion is as necessary today as it was in the late-1980s, when his story finally caught the public’s eye
is Schindler-lite, a maudlin and middling historical biopic about stockbroker and humanitarian Nicholas Winton’s heroic efforts, alongside Britain’s kindertransport missions, to save Jewish children from the Nazis. It’s yet another Holocaust movie, but one that seems self-aware of how familiar its narrative beats can be. The movie is even built with a justification for itself and for why these stories bear repeating.
Those headlines prompt Winton to dust off his scrapbook, full of names and photos of the Jewish children he meant to save, and finally publicize his own account from the Holocaust. According to the movie, he felt it an instructive reminder of the empathy needed to make a difference in these moments of crisis. This is alsoway to nudge the audience, as if to say that Winton’s compassion is as necessary and relevant today as it was in the late-1980s, when his story finally caught the public’s eye.
can count on that. But these passages are told in shorthand, as if relying on our familiarity with Holocaust movies and their tropes for the sake of storytelling economy. The movie skips past the very shading needed to distinguish itself. It always feels in a rush to get to those languid scenes with a reliably soulful Hopkins, whose starring role likely helped secure its financing.
