Milada

Milada Horáková, politician and human rights activist, fights against everything and everyone to defend her beliefs in communist Czechoslovakia.

"Is every woman with an opinion hysterical to you, sir?" this line sums up the film well, and the thinking of the time, a phrase still commonly used for women with difficult temperaments... A magnificent biography about a democratic politician who fought against the Nazis, being arrested, and post-war hanged by the communist party of Czechoslovakia under trumped up accusations of conspiracy and treason, for not agreeing to be in opposition to the government, unfair, revolting, beautiful, dramatic and exciting...

After having lived in the Czech Republic from 91 -97 I believe this film portrayed Milada quite well. As an era film I couldn't help but compare it to what is happening in the US today. If you disagree with the leftist ideology you are branded as anti-American. The US needs heroes like Milada. I believe many films like this are suppressed. The film "Child 44" with Tom Hardy and Naomi Repace, another communist era film, only lasted 2 weeks in theaters and then it was impossible to find. This film is highly recommended.

I have read Milada's biography - sadly this movie does not do her justice.

The production values are irrelevant, a badly told story is a badly told story.

Very disappointing.

I loved this film, by the way... Almost nobody watched it... A right wing brazilian congresswoman told me to check it out! Wonderful but sad story.

It remembers me my country. What is happening now in Brazil is a disgrace... We have the best President of all time, in our country. The media is 99% Far Left. The Supreme Court is 100% Left wing. They don't let President Bolsonaro rule the country! Just because he is Conservative. We had corrupt socialists and communists for the last 35 years. The media is desperate to remove Bolsonaro, because his government stoped most of the billion dollars sponsorships from before... As well most of the funds for culture. That's why some actors make a daily international campaign against Bolsonaro. It's so unfair. The communists are everywhere. Only God can help us.

One of the best movies I have seen. Perfect actors performance. Very realistic and touching. Strong movie.

I was 9 years old when the communism finished in Czech and Slovakia. By seeing this movie I realized how lucky I was that it happened. Our whole family never involved in communist party so basically we could hardly effort anything. My aunty she could not study anything more than high school even she really wanted to do so. But as the father was not part of the communist group. She was not allowed. It was very strange times. Thanks God I was still very young when this night mare finished.
