Milada is a dramatic story of an exceptional czech lady. A hero, who was so strong to resist not only the german nazi occupation during the second world war, but as she is very famous during the raise of communist power in Czechoslovakia! I have watched the movie with a friend from abroad, who wants to visit Czech, so I was teaching them about the culture and important events. I am not giving full 10 stars, because sometimes the movie is not really clear for people who dont know much about communism. Yet they realised a lot. Even about they own country and the misdoings of their government they have not seen before. The english dabbing was a bit disturbing and the characters had strong Czech accent. I don´t know whether is it good, or bad...

This was a well-scripted, decently acted docu-drama about a little known but incredibly courageous woman who held her own against the Nazis and then the Communists. There were some issues on editing and timelines certainly, but I think we need to look at the bigger picture here rather than that which could have been done better production and direction-wise. This was a woman of remarkable courage and bravery who had a set of core values to which we should all be inspired by, and emulate as best we can. Having said that, despite integrity, honesty, decency, compassion and the highest of service being amongst the very best of values to which all of us should aspire ( as she did ), one questions as to why Milada did not have the wisdom to leave when she had the chances to do so. And which resulted in her evil execution and endangerment to her family. I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but I have the very strong instinct that Milada had the foresight that this might happen. But this detracts in no way from a lady who was not just a true Czech hero, but one who is a hero to us all...

Confusing as to characters, where and when they are going .Good still photos of prominent women, but slow, overlong, and drags. Totally disappointing.

One of the best movies I have seen. Perfect actors performance. Very realistic and touching. Strong movie. I was 9 years old when the communism finished in Czech and Slovakia. By seeing this movie I realized how lucky I was that it happened. Our whole family never involved in communist party so basically we could hardly effort anything. My aunty she could not study anything more than high school even she really wanted to do so. But as the father was not part of the communist group. She was not allowed. It was very strange times. Thanks God I was still very young when this night mare finished.

Czech history is a lesson in centuries old struggles for freedom, democracy, arts and humanity. Milada the woman was an embodiment of this struggle. That her life be brought to international attention seems fitting. The film has a difficult attempt to cohesively portray her life, seemingly needing a rewrite or three. Milada, the film attempts to follow the heroic feminine strengths of Milada Horáková from surviving Nazi concentration camp through Russia's occupation of Czech people again and again. Milada upheld the doctrine of humanitarian ideals in her socialwork against a changing backdrop of enforced political changes. Ultimately she fell victim to a monkey trial following Russian occupation and regime change, Milada continued to fight for basic human dignity of free thought, individual will and democracy. The films dedication in 2017 is to "2 billion worldwide strugglng under dictatorial governments". The timely release of this film perhaps left few materials for an inexperienced writer to paint a full living breathing portrait of this strong woman, important to international themes having been awarded the highest recognized honor in Czech society. I wish the screenplay had been written through feminine eyes, based on richer biographic material. Hopefully the film succeeds in showing the poison of dictatorial regimes seeking scapegoats for populist theater, despite lacking criminal indictments or volition.

I really wanted to see this moovie after I got know it was relased. Only thing which could never let me cold is simplified judgement of secret police interrogators, they often were not so font even to women. I'm find this film good 'cause of showing how was it in early czechoslovakia, not many people will remember this in few decades. I wasn´t finding if that letter were true but all the scenarios looked equvalent. For those who have no idea how was it looking here I write a short commentary bellow: U know after WWII Stalin pacted with west to let CSR lefty, so soviet agents made all they could to set this regime "unraw way" selected. As it was in movie, Milada was strong woman and politican, which did her work well and never wanted to come Austrian 3rd reich's oligarchy true again as well as communistic's regime with united farms, poverty and in need fear. I hate communistic headquaters of previous century, not because of their social meaning and lifestyle of dependence, but because of criminal and very violent dealing and threating of families of they don't do like they blow like u saw here. Only thing is wrong today: In czech TV common news dialog one woman from communistic side told she doesn't think that admissions were realy forced.

An interesting movie about the life of a Czech woman I had never heard about. Apart from the movie itself, with Milada's struggles against power, it's nice to see images of beautiful Prague during the movie. It would have been nice if it had been in Czech instead of English though. I applaud Netflix for including this movie!

I have read Milada's biography - sadly this movie does not do her justice. The production values are irrelevant, a badly told story is a badly told story. Very disappointing.
