“One Life” (**1/2 out of four) was a reverent but never revelatory biographical melodrama about Sir Nicholas Winton (Johnny Flynn) who was a young London broker who in the months leading up to World War II rescued over 600 children from Czechoslovakia which was dominated by the Nazis and the film crosscuts between him as a younger man and then older adult (Anthony Hopkins). Literate and intelligent film about an interesting figure in war history but never quite as riveting or compelling as it should have been. Film has some similarities to story of “Schindler’s List” but is never as emotionally charged or mesmerizing as that 1993 classic.
