We witness Jews being herded onto trains on their way to concentration camps. We see Nazi soldiers shoot people and animals to death. Director Niki Caro’s film is often extremely hard to watch. Chastain’s Antonina Zabinski and her husband, Jan (Johan Heldenbergh), risked their lives and that of their young son by sneaking people out of the Warsaw ghetto and helping them find new lives. Jessica Chastain stars in this true story about a couple who saved the lives of hundreds of Jews during the Holocaust by hiding them in the basement of the Warsaw zoo. Rating: PG-13, for thematic elements, disturbing images, violence, brief sexuality, nudity and smoking.
#THE ZOOKEEPERS WIFE ROTTEN TOMATEOS MOVIE#
This movie gets a PG-13 rating but I’d say it’s really only suitable for more mature kids who are 13 and older. And there’s a scene in a club with strippers, but we don’t see much. Also, there are many scenes in which it appears that Major is fighting while completely naked, but it’s actually just the way her flesh-colored “shell” was designed. Much of the imagery is extremely creepy, such as the sight of a robot geisha being shot in the face.
The world in which the characters live is dark and gloomy (despite bursts of high-tech color) and it’s full of danger. This is an extremely violent movie with punishing fight sequences, extended gun battles and major explosions. Johansson’s Major is a trained killing machine, but she’s haunted by glimmers of memories of her human past, many of which are frightening. Scarlett Johansson stars in this live-action version of the influential 1995 Japanese anime film about a futuristic society in which a young woman’s brain is placed in a synthetic body. Rating: PG-13, for intense sequences of sci-fi violence, suggestive content and some disturbing images.
