MUCH better than most Hallmark movies! Perhaps because it is based on a true story about a real person and real events, so they didn't have to come up with a plot. We nearly didn't watch it when we saw it was a Hallmark film, but we took…

Another docudrama of a good Samaritan who saved 2500 Jewish children during the German occupation of Poland. Courageous and inspiring!

Well crafted movie about true heroes in a terrible time. Shows some people at their best and Germany at its worst. Watch this movie, please. If you refer to any American president as being like Hitler, shame on you. Remember the…

This truly is a courageous story of a young polish woman during WWII. Her compassion for humankind is a model for all. Well-deserved nomination for the Nobel Prize.

Fantastic movie; covered the subject very well; and the visual of it was very compelling, as though you were really in the 1940's, from dress-clothes, to furniture and etc, very beautiful. Tells the story very well in a theatrical way;…

Irena was an unbelievably brave woman. A truly inspiring movie. And she lived to be 98 years old, passing away in 2008.

The dialogue throughout the entire movie was muted and couldn't be heard or understood. A whole lot was in whispers and the sound designer didn't do his job to enable the dialogue to be heard. No language, no worthy movie.

this is an excellent movie however some of the production values are not up to snuff. It was often times hard to catch the dialogue and there are no subtitles. I think it is necessary for people to see movies like this to gain a better…

Another great unearthing of a true WWII story: Anna Paquin re-creates an incredibly brave Polish social worker who—along with other members of the Polish resistance—figures out a way to secretly spirit away 2500 Jewish children from…

People need to be reminded such people exist. That is the power of a story. That is the value of this TV movie, supported by a good cast giving solid performances. I give this film a 7 (good) out of 10. [BioPic, History, Drama]

One of several films I requested to commemorate this year's Holocaust Remembrance...I have read many books and seen other films, especially since 1995 because I want to be educated in this. This is one I especially recommend, and agree…

Excellent film which demonstrates what can be accomplished by one Polish woman working to save Jewish children from the Nazis. Recommend Kristi & Abby Tabby

Excellent DVD, which shows courage and conviction in face of persecution, "love your neighbor" we are told and the neighbor is anyone who we come across our paths during our sojourn on earth. In her case the down trodden and persecuted…

Irena was very brave women. I loved the movie and the book"Life in a Jar"She was nominated for the Nobel prize but Obama who did nothing at all to deserve it won it instead. TERRIFIC movie!!!!

A potentially good movie suffers from poor production. We found the dialog was very hard to hear and sub-titles weren't an option.

This movie is amazing! it gives such a heart-wrenching picture of the life of a Jewish family during the holocaust. It was sad and terrible, but with such wonderful people in every scene. This director did an amazing job with this film.…

Within its made-for-TV bounds, Irena Sendler is a surprisingly hard-hitting story of what can be done by a few brave, clever people. Anna Paquin's face is inexpressive, for an actress; but on the other hand, she strikes me as a person who…

Irena Sendler is a humanitarian hero whose unselfish bravery changed lives forever. She died in Poland in 2008, at the age of 98. I wonder if she was ever reunited with any of the children she helped save and if any of them are still…

This is a compelling movie and Anna Paquin fully immerses herself in the role.

This film was very well done. Many different actors had different accents throughout the film, but at least they were consistent. Anna Paquin was excellent. I am happy that Irena made it out as so many didn't.

This was basically a good movie- but it had a "made for tv" feel to it (which is not always a bad thing). Irena was truly a hero, and her actions saved many lives. It is still a "feel good" story

Irena Sendler, a nurse and a Catholic, bravely smuggled 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw Ghetto during the occupation of the National Socialist German Worker's Party, better known as Nazi. The Gestapo finally got her and she was…

I very sad and moving story so have tissues handy. It made me wonder what happened to the children after the war was over and how many were returned back to their families. Such a terrible period in the worlds history.
