Ryan Reynolds Greatest Movies, Ranked

A biopic, Woman in Gold is a dramatic change of pace among Ryan Reynolds’ best movies that also co-stars Helen Mirren, Charles Dance, Tatiana Maslany, Katie Holmes, and Daniel Bruhl. Mirren plays Maria Altmann, a real-life Jewish refugee that calls upon lawyer Randy Schoenberg, played by Reynolds, to fight the Austrian government for the return of a portrait stolen by the Nazis.

If that sounds significantly less exciting than the usual Ryan Reynolds movie, you’d be right, as Woman in Gold is a deliberate and thoughtful film probing some of the darkest secrets in human history. For his part as the ambitious lawyer in over his head, Reynolds turned in his greatest dramatic performance to date. Critics agree that the leads carry the film, which gets bogged down in the details of the true-story, as again, it’s that natural movie star charisma which elevates what would have been a disappointing movie had it starred almost anyone else.
