In 1939 Poland, Antonina Zabinska (two-time Academy Award® nominee Jessica Chastain) and her husband successfully run the Warsaw Zoo and raise their family in an idyllic existence. Their world is overturned, however, when the country is invaded by the Nazis and they are forced to report to the Reich's newly appointed zoologist (Daniel Brühl). To fight back on their own terms, the Zabinskis risk everything by covertly working with the Resistance and using the zoo's hidden tunnels and cages to save families from Nazi brutality.

Critics Consensus: The Zookeeper's Wife has noble intentions, but is ultimately unable to bring its fact-based story to life with quite as much impact as it deserves.

Reviews

Keith & the Movies

Keith Garlington

“The Zookeeper’s Wife” may not satisfy those looking for a more visceral experience, but not every Holocaust story requires that approach. Many of these stories weren’t as pronounced, yet they were just as powerful and inspirational. This is such a story.

The Zookeeper's Wife is an accomplished picture, offering a fascinating history lesson even as it remains wholly topical.

Dr. Jan Żabiński and Antonina Żabińska were named to the Righteous Among the Nations and The Zookeeper's Wife shows why.

Richard Crouse

Chastain holds the centre of the story, providing a steely, compelling - although distractingly accented - character.

Metaphorically, this "zoo" story underscores the vile character of the Nazis' racist-chauvinist view that other peoples, especially the Jews, were subhuman species.
