Based on a true story. This is another true story never heard of. Irena (Sophie Nélisse) was working in a hospital when the Germans invaded Taropol, Poland. Because of her blonde hair and German-surname, she was shown favoritism. She supervised a group of eleven Jews who claimed to be tailors. She overheard of their scheduled demise and brought them to safety in the basement of an officer's house where she was put in charge of the household. It wasn't long before the officer figured out he had Jews in his basement. Irena slept with the officer to buy his silence. It was interesting because it was historical and a testament to humanity. Sophie Nélisse played a difficult role. Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.

Many unsung heroes have come and gone without anyone really hearing their story. I love watching movies about them, it makes you realize how good people are and makes you want to do same. Irena was a Pol who lived during the Nazis invasion of Poland and found herself working for one of the Nazi Generals. She found favor in his eyes and used that weakness to save some Jews. It was edgy, brave and tense watching how everything transpired. One thing I like about true story movies is that, because it's based off real events, you can't quite guess what will happen at any point. And that is so refreshing. Great movie. And my goodness, Sophie is beautiful.

When I stumbled upon the 2023 war drama "Irena's Vow" by random chance here in 2024, of course I opted to sit down and watch it, as I enjoy World War II themed movies. Sure, I had never even heard about this movie, but the synopsis sounded interesting enough, and with it being based on actual events, well, then it just seemed like the movie had potential. Right, well writer Dan Gordon and director Louise Archambault certainly set out with a grand ambition, for sure. However, the end result that is "Irena's Vow" just was too sluggish and mundane. I was actually seriously bored throughout the 121 minutes that the movie ran for, and found it to be quite a struggle to sit through the ordeal, especially since the narrative was so bland and uneventful. I found "Irena's Vow" to be a disappointing movie, especially since the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough. The script just utterly failed to entertain me. There wasn't enough action going on in the movie, nor were there enough of anything overly interesting going on in the narrative. The only face on the screen that I was familiar with was actor Dougray Scott. It should be noted, however, that the acting performances in the movie were actually fair, despite the fact that the script and narrative was a swing and a miss. This is not a movie that will find its way back on my screen a second time, simply because the movie failed to entertain me, because it was a bland movie set with a World War II backdrop, and because it was hands down a boring movie. But I am sure that diehard fans of heavy dramas with a World War II backdrop will enjoy this movie. That, however, is not particular go-to kind of genre for entertainment. My rating of director Louise Archambault's 2023 war drama "Irena's Vow" lands on a very generous three out of ten stars.

The street scenes for this were filmed in Lublin old town 4 kilometres from Majdanek concentration camp where my wife's grandmother (Adela) was held as a prisoner for 18 months. Adela was a nurse in the Polish secret army and was caring for a Polish soldier who was injured when the Gestapo arrived one day in her hometown of Kurów and went to her house and shot the soldier and arrested her. She was taken to Lublin Gestapo headquarters and tortured for two weeks including being raped multiple times and they broke all of her fingers and her jaw and many of her ribs and was then sent to Majdanek concentration camp. She died three years ago and after the church service we saw a strange man talking to my father-in-law and after a few mins, we saw that they were both crying and hugging each other. It turns out that he came from the same town of Kurów and in the war he was very sick and the only available medicine was from the Germans and his mother made the desperate decision to trade the information on Adela for medicine for her son. Grandmother Adela never spoke about how she was deceived until her death as she knew that the son, his mother and all of her family would be called traitors and could face massive problems in their lives. She only mentioned the camp a few times in her life as it was too traumatic to speak about, but the times she did speak about it was about the disgusting things the Germans did to the Jews rather reminiscent of the street scene in this film where one German woman guard smashed a baby's head on the floor because it was crying too loud. I try to understand the hatred between nations of modern times but Grandmother Adela taught us that the hatred should be directed towards the leaders of such terrible conflicts, not the people. I was proud to name my daughter after her.

Went in blind and came out speechless. Had no idea it was a true story. So strong and compelling. The story is quite simple really. Schindler's List meets Parasite is the first thing that came to my mind when the movie ended. The main character is so well cast, she tells the whole story with her eyes alone. Dougray Scott plays it very well, hadn't seen him since Mission Impossible 2! Overall I can't think of anyone that didn't convince me. I wouldn't cut any scene to make it shorter. Very gripping score as well. 6.3 does not do this film justice, believe me. I just hope this film will get more attention somehow.

Irena's Vow Other than beating the tar out of Nazis, the other kind of WWII movies I enjoy are the ones that feature the unsung heroes that were able to rescue small groups of Jewish people. Irena's Vow features Irena Gut, a Polish woman forced into service by the occupying Germans in the city of Tarnopol (now in the Ukraine as Ternopol). While working for Major Rügemer, she is assigned to supervise the laundry, and then as the housekeeper for his villa, seized from a Polish family. When she saw that all the people in the laundry were to be executed as part of Hitler's plan, she schemes to hide them in the very house that the Major now occupies. If this wasn't a true story, I wouldn't have believed a word of this. It was so poorly acted, I felt like I was watching a modern film with costumes, instead of a film to transport us back in time to the mad era of Nazi insanity. It becomes quite clear, sort of, early on that Rügemer has a thing for Irena, but it catapults forward when he discovers that there are Jews hiding in his home. The speed and transformation of superior to inferior to Polish lover was so fast, it just didn't make sense in the narrative. Sophie Nélisse, as Irena, did a great job of emoting the compassion, the panic, the fear, the horror and the bravery all needed to survive. After witnessing a child get murdered on the street by yet another disgraceful "German", she really dove into her risky plan to save as many Jews as she could. I wanted to love this due to the bravery in the depths of despair, but it wasn't completely well done. I don't know, nor can I put my finger on it, but I felt it could have been done better. I'm just glad it really happened and the people went on to live full lives. The notes in the credits were really sweet.

Irena is a Polish woman caught in the early stages of Nazi occupation, enlisted to work for the new regime, who after witness to the horrors unleashed against the local Jews, decides to do everything in her power to save the victims. That is her vow. And this is her astounding true story. Presented more as a theatre piece than movie, "Irena's Vow" seldom moves outdoors, save for a few market square scenes, focusing mainly on interiors, where Irena keeps mansion for a high ranking officer, and keeps a group of Jews hidden in the cellar. The grit, grime and scuffy realities of war are absent here, as everything focuses on the characters and the carefully orchestrated set pieces. The clean and simple play presentation makes for a distancing film experience, which slowly dissolves as the story picks up the pace. And the story is the star here. Scrambling to avoid detection under the enemy's roof, Irena shows cool resolve, clever problem solves, and total dedication to her cause. The surface sheen of the movie which never digs far enough to get a good grip on the characters, is finally broken with the post film credits, that feature photos and historic summaries of the aftermath. Then it finally hits home. hipCRANK.
