ONE LIFE [2023] [Blu-ray] [2023 / 2024] [UK Release] Save One Life, You Then Save The World! Based On A True Story!
‘ONE LIFE’ tells the true story of Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London Stock Broker who, in the months leading up to World War II, rescued 669 predominantly Jewish children from the Nazis. Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton visited Prague in December 1938 and found families who had fled the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria, living in desperate conditions with little or no shelter and food, and under threat of Nazi invasion. Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton immediately realised it was a race against time. How many children could he and the team rescue before the borders closed?
Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton lives haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to bring to safety in England; always blaming himself for not doing more. It’s not until a live BBC television show entitled “That’s Life” and suddenly surprises Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton by introducing him to some surviving children – now adults – that Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton finally begins to come to terms with the guilt and grief he had carried for five decades.

FILM FACT No.2: ‘ONE LIFE’ is a 2023 biographical drama film directed by James Hawes. It is based on the true story of British humanitarian Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton as he looks back on his past efforts to help groups of Jewish children in German-occupied Czechoslovakia to hide and flee in 1938 – 1939, just before the beginning of World War II. The film stars Sir Anthony Hopkins and Johnny Flynn as Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton, with Lena Olin, Romola Garai, Alex Sharp, Jonathan Pryce, and Helena Bonham Carter in supporting roles.
In September 2020 Sir Anthony Hopkins and Johnny Flynn were announced as being attached to a biopic about Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton called ‘ONE LIFE.’ From a Lucinda Coxon and Nick Drake screenplay, Aisling Walsh was set to direct with See-Saw Films and BBC Film producing through executive producers Rose Garnett and Simon Gillis, and producers Iain Canning, Emile Sherman, and Joanna Laurie. FilmNation Entertainment and Cross City Films were to be managing international sales. In September 2022 it was revealed that James Hawes was attached to direct his feature film debut while Helena Bonham Carter had joined the cast as Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton's mother, Babi Winton. It was also revealed that Guy Heeley was on board as producer and that the screenplay was based on the book “If It's Not Impossible…The Life of Sir Nicholas Winton” and written by his daughter Barbara Winton. Also announced as joining the cast were Jonathan Pryce, Romola Garai and Alex Sharp. Filming took place in London in September 2022 with principal photography also taking place in Prague.
Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s daughter requested that Sir Anthony Hopkins should play her father Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton. Sir Anthony Hopkins read the script and accepted the part. Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s son praised Sir Anthony Hopkins’ portrayal of his father. One survivor called the film a “fitting tribute.” The extras making up the recreation of the show’s audience are the actual children of those Winton had saved. The film's publicity campaign sparked outrage when the predominantly Jewish heritage of the children on the kinder transport was omitted and they were instead described as “Central European.”
‘ONE LIFE’ had its world première at the Toronto International Film Festival on the 9th September, 2023, and its European première at the 2023 London Film Festival. It was released in the United Kingdom on the 1st January 2024 by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received mostly positive reviews, with praise for the performances of the cast, particularly for Sir Anthony Hopkins.

Andrew’s Blu-ray Review: ‘ONE LIFE’ [2023] On a regular Sunday night back in the 1980’s, as part of a BBC One television magazine show “That’s Life” that would zip from a talking dog to consumer rights, the extraordinary story of a man called Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton came to public attention.
The cinematic image of children boarding trains in World War II is, typically, a traumatic one. But in the film ‘ONE LIFE’ directed by James Hawes, it is wildly, blindly hopeful, as children board trains in Prague, bound for England, escaping dire conditions in refugee camps and the encroaching Nazi occupation, seemingly steps away.
The amazing film ‘ONE LIFE’ is the dramatization of the true story of the young Nicholas ‘Nicky Winton, who was a British stockbroker and humanitarian who, in 1939, helped to arrange the escape of 669 children from Czechoslovakia. Written by Lucinda Coxon and Nick Drake, the film is based on a book by Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky Winton’s daughter, Barbara Winton, If It’s Not Impossible … the Life of Sir Nicholas Winton and the film marks the feature directorial debut of director James Hawes.
Just about fitting into two hours, it opts to split Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s story in two.
‘ONE LIFE’ weaves together two periods in Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton’s life, 50 years apart. Sir Anthony Hopkins who plays Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s in 1987, was enjoying a life of peaceful retirement with his wife Grete Winton [Lena Olin]. At the behest of Grete Winton, while cleaning out his office, Grete Winton uncovers his old scrapbook in an old brief case containing the records and remnants of his pre-war endeavours helping refugee children. Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s efforts had gone unrecognised in the years since, the children were all scattered to foster families across Britain, but Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton remained haunted by their faces, snapped in photographs that he pores over with a magnifying glass.
Johnny Flynn who plays Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton looks a lot more like a young Sir Anthony Hopkins and the two narratives are then cross-cut over five decades earlier, a stern and quiet man, and the son of German Jewish immigrants who converted to Christianity and changed their last name in order to assimilate living in England. Concerned with reports from occupied Sudetenland, Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton takes a leave from his London Stock Broker banking job and meets a friend in Prague in order to assist with the refugee efforts. Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton immediately becomes taken with the cause of evacuating as many children as he can to England.
The 1930’s tale takes up the majority of the film’s first half, and sees actor Johnny Flynn becoming driven to find an escape route for hundreds of children, a task that inevitably comes with significant difficult hurdles. Again, it’s a very ensemble-driven effort, with Romola Garai as Doreen Warriner who in particular is a standout performance amongst the rest of the cast. The screenplay is penned by Lucinda Coxon and Nick Drake, and in turn adapting Barbara Winton’s book about her brother Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, and this part of the film is honourable, effective and gets across a flavour of what Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton and his collaborators were seriously up against.
Shot by the brilliant cinematographer Zac Nicholson, B.S.C. and directed by James Hawes who was an experienced television director, making his feature film debut, and it is perfectly and exquisitely well done, but also, does ultimately feel like it is laying the foundations for the more impactful and dramatically part of the drama that unfolds throughout the film.
Inevitably, we get to see the 1980’s segment, where we see Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton as actor Sir Anthony Hopkins, pottering around his house and threatening to revisit material from his past. It’s where the big emotional impact of the story eventually lies, and the ‘ONE LIFE’ film doesn’t waste its hand. There’s a lot more patience to this part, the camera lingering on Sir Anthony Hopkins, a masterful actor completely in control of his performance and actor Sir Anthony Hopkins puts across a quiet dignity, even as the story unfolds of what he was part-responsible for is discovered in a BBC office.
Sir Anthony Hopkins is in an understated mode in a performance of both empathy and subtlety that also gives the film a touch of authority. Even more interesting is the seamless transition between him and Johnny Flynn as his younger self. Both have the same mannerisms, gestures and ways of speaking, making it unusually easy to imagine the younger man turning into the older one. With the formidable Helena Bonham Carter as Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s mother and Romola Garai as the pragmatic leader of Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s team in Prague, it’s populated with class acts, all worthy tributes to the actual people concerned. Despite its heart-rending climax, there are times when that reticent style keeps a tight rein on the emotion built into the story so that it only occasionally reaches the heights it aims for and definitely a fitting tribute to a dignified hero that always touches the soul.
It’s in these moments that makes the ‘ONE LIFE’ film very much at its strongest. Whether you’re aware of where it’s heading or not – and I very much was – the final ten minutes or so in the film is so intensely moving that I was feeling it long before it got to that moment in the film, because stories after all, aren’t always about surprises. I know that the film ‘ONE LIFE’ makes it more powerful in what we view. Like the man at its centre, the film ‘ONE LIFE’ is quiet, modest and restrained in its storytelling, making it an affecting and unexpectedly contemporary brilliant emotional film. It’s also suitably respectful of its subject and its characters. As the film ‘ONE LIFE’ tells us, “save one person, save the world.”
I’ve seen on more than one occasion that the film ‘ONE LIFE’ has been described as a British version of the film ‘Schindler’s List’ and Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton has colloquially been known as “the British Schindler” and the film ‘ONE LIFE’ will feel familiar, if not formulaic, because we have seen films like this about World War II and the Holocaust. Director James Hawes utilises that iconography without exploiting or sensationalizing the material; the film is emotionally restrained in a way that is almost frustrating at times but ultimately reflects the character of the young man Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s quiet, self-effacing personality.
There is a subdued, but profound beauty to director James Hawes’ work. The pre-war timeline is the kind of sturdy World War II-era filmmaking that we have come to expect, rendered with a comforting authenticity. But director James Hawes and the screenwriters Lucinda Coxon and Nick Drake steer away from delving into psychological inquiries.
The film ‘ONE LIFE’ is a slow burn, slowly establishing Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s modest character as a younger and the older man, but when it cracks open; it is a deeply moving portrait of true human goodness. The emotional resonance comes not from the dramatic wartime events, but rather from the long-term effects of Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s efforts many years later. Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s story proves that a few months of helping others can turn into generational legacies that 600 souls can turn into 6,000 and that one life can have a lasting impact on the world. Perhaps it’s not the most radical telling of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton’s extraordinary story, even if the cross-cutting does lend it dual perspectives. But I like the fact the film ‘ONE LIFE’ doesn’t put things in the way of telling a strong story in such an efficient manner. This is a fine and totally amazing dedicated film, and of course one that is a totally and genuinely uplifting, deeply moving and totally, and of course ‘ONE LIFE’ is a very uplifting and totally amazing film as well.
At the end of the film ‘ONE LIFE,’ we are informed that the following of “That’s Life” BBC television broadcast, hundreds of the Prague refugees made contact with Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton. They called themselves “Nicky’s Children” and we get a wonderful modern photograph of all the grown up adult refugees with the actual Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, and he remained close with them right up until his death, aged 106 years of age. The Winton’s family donated the scrapbook to the Yad Vashem – The World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Israel. Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for Services to Humanity, and received the highest honour of the Czech Republic, and we get to view an actual video of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton getting knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. Doreen Warriner remained in Prague until the threat of arrest by the Gestapo became too great. Before Doreen Warriner’s death in 1972, Doreen Warriner was awarded the OBE for her work in Prague. Trevor Chadwick returned to join the Royal Air Force, surviving the end of the World War II and died in 1979. Many brave Czech volunteers were detained by the Gestapo and taken to the Nazi camps. It is estimated that there are over 6,000 people alive today because of the Prague rescue. The studio audience in the film ‘ONE LIFE’ is made up of these rescued Prague people.
In memory of Brian Sherman, a life of Activism, Dynamism, Philanthropy and Compassion 1943 – 2022. Anthony Gartland 1992 – 2023. Barbara Winton 1953 – 2023.
To summarise, the film ‘ONE LIFE’ is a hugely emotional unbelievable experience. On top of all that, and it is a very good reminder that the people being helped aren’t soldiers, politicians, or anybody who had a choice in the war or where they live. They were just very young children who were at constant risk of being arrested and executed just for existing in their current location or as their current ethnicity/religion. It’s impossible to comprehend something similar happening in modern society. But once again, I must say that the most outstanding actors throughout the film ‘ONE LIFE’ were of course Sir Anthony Hopkins, Lena Olin, Johnny Flynn and Helena Bonham Carter and of course deserved all the awards the film ‘ONE LIFE’ received.

Special Feature: Celebrating Winton’s Kindertransportees [2023] [1080p] [2.39:1] [11:28] With this featurette, to celebrate the release of the film ‘ONE LIFE,’ which tells the incredible true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, where they gathered some of the Kindertransportees that Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton helped rescue at the start of World War II who were invited to go and watch the film ‘ONE LIFE.’ These people informed us about their personal experiences, memories and what it means to learn more about the life of that person who saved those people 85 years ago, and we see some of the rescued children who are now adults going to the BFI London Film Festival 2023 that was held in October 2023 to view the premier of the film ‘ONE LIFE.’ We get to hear about the amazing Kindertransportees survivors who celebrate the life of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton. We get to hear about how the young man Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, who rescued well over six hundred children from the Nazis in Prague. The children, most of whom were Jewish, were evacuated from Prague to London in 1939 on trains organised by Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, in an amazing and daring operation that became known as the Kindertransportees. Also throughout this featurette, we get to view lots of clips from the film ‘ONE LIFE.’ Contributors include: Peter Schiller [Kindertransportees], Dr. Lisa Midwinter [Kindertransportees], Lady Milena Grenfell-Baines [Kindertransportees], Eva Paddock [Kindertransportees], Alfred Dubs, Baron Dubs [Kindertransportees], Vera Schaufeld MBE [Kindertransportees], Lia Lesser [Kindertransportees], Renate Collins [Kindertransportees], Alexandra Greensted [Kindertransportees], and Nick Winton [Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton son], Steve Watson [Barbara Winton’s Husband] and Holly Watson [Barbara Winton’s Daughter].
Finally, the film ‘ONE LIFE’ is the amazing true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, who was responsible for evacuating over 600 children from Czechoslovakia, which was on the verge of the Nazi invasion. This is a truly outstanding film, one of the best I've seen in a while, for my shame I had no idea of Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton's story until the release of this film, it promoted me to dig deeper, and what a fascinating, brave man Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton was. The film ‘ONE LIFE’ is beautifully produced, and not just the visuals, but of course it looked rorally amazing, but the tone and feel of the film ‘ONE LIFE’ was totally perfect in all aspects. At times I honestly felt like I was watching something by Stephen Poliakoff, who is someone who truly does know how to move the viewers with their emotions. The amazing film ‘ONE LIFE’ has to od course honour its true story and to tell it with care and competency and that's exactly what it does. This is a deeply affecting story of selfless people who did everything they could to save as many people as possible whilst others just ignored what was going on. Actor Sir Anthony Hopkins is on terrific form here and embodies the selflessness effortlessly and brings a heart-breaking sense of defeat, focusing on what he could've done rather than what Sir Anthony Hopkins achieved and also one of the rare actors who can make you cry by bringing on the waterworks, when he cries you cry. In the flashbacks Johnny Flynn is an extremely convincing younger version of Sir Anthony Hopkins with that same desire to always do more. Helena Bonham Carter gets a loveable role supporting Johnny Flynn with a stern determination and refusal to take no for an answer. Director James Hawes directs with a level of technical competency that's designed to go unnoticed. The production value is reminiscent of a high end BBC production, which is obviously very fitting and the pacing is really strong. Undoubtedly it is helped by spending the majority of the time with the flashbacks with Sir Nicholas “Nicky” Winton's story which are rife with tension, but despite this, ‘ONE LIFE’ is a terrific and a totally emotional amazing film and it deserved all the awards the film received. Very Highly Recommended!
