| 12+Cautions: brief strong language, some intensity, and brief mild immodesty and mild sensuality
Woman in Gold was Nazi plunder, a portrait worth millions of dollars stolen from Maria Altmann’s home in Austria. Maria was placed under house arrest, escaped to America, and now, in 1999, she wants her property back—property the government of Austria is claiming no longer belongs to her. For Austria, the fight is over a national treasure. For Maria, it’s a fight for a portrait of her aunt. And for Randy, a struggling lawyer with Austrian heritage, the case that was about money is becoming a fight for justice.

A woman is seen in pajama shorts in a non-sensual context.
In one scene, Maria and Randy each ask the other, “How do I look?” and the other replies, “Sexy and victorious.” Nothing is made of this.

Note:
Woman in Gold is based on a true story and is accurate in the major points, although a few points have been slightly altered.
Randy makes decisions that put his family’s financial situation in jeopardy. Initially his wife is upset, saying, “We’re supposed to make these decisions together. Isn’t that the point?” He sincerely apologizes. Later on, his wife ends up being very supportive of him, regardless of their financial situation.
Randy is said to be deep in debt, and goes deeper in debt for the sake of the case.
The main characters are ethnic Jews. Nothing is said or implied about their religious persuasion.
Characters drink alcohol, though never to excess.
