The Zookeeper's Wife Ratings & Reviews

UniqueMovies Deb HJuly 25, 2025
Jessica chastain Is the best actress I've ever seen in my entire life!! I've never seen one person portray so many different types of characters!! She's the only actor I know that can do that and has done that!! She deserves many many academy awards 🏆 Based on a true story , To all you animal lovers, this movie is so sweet and precious in the beginning.😺 🐶 🐐 🐴 🐘 🐦🕊️ 🦒🦓 🐴 🦁 🐯 🐷 She bends down to the bed what looks like she was getting ready to kiss her little child when in reality it was a baby lion sleeping at the foot of the child's bed 🥰 🦁 This is a wonderful movie! Even though there's so much pain, sorrow. The acting is outstanding!! It's a must-see and worth the watch ✨🕊️✨ it's also a history lesson based on a true story movie. Dose show bombs landing on the zoo property. Animals do get injured or killed due to the war. There's also violent killing of animals!! 😢 Use discretion if you allow young children to watch this movie. 🙏😇🙏 ❌❌❌
