It’s a perfect role for Anthony Hopkins: a modest, elderly man who disdains fuss, keeping his secrets to himself. In “One Life,” Hopkins plays the real-life character of Nicholas Winton, a London stockbroker who somehow rescued 669 Jewish refugee children in Prague on the eve of World War II, saving them from certain death. Then he remained quiet about it for 50 years, until a television show told the story. Associated Press critic Jocelyn Noveck writes that while Hopkins is the main draw, Johnny Flynn as younger Nicholas is also notable for how he manages to find the connective tissue with Hopkins’ portrayal. The film is in theaters Friday.
