Netflix’s ‘Transatlantic’ Leans Into Glossiness Over Realism: TV Review
06.04.2023 - 15:01 / variety.com
Aramide Tinubu Piecing together pivotal historical events in a limited series in order to create a compelling narrative is a tall task. However, creator and writer Anna Winger is no stranger to this work. Her 2020 adaptation of Deborah Feldman’s 2012 autobiography, “Unorthodox,” which followed one Jewish woman’s liberation from her Hasidic community, received critical acclaim. With her latest series, “Transatlantic,” an adaptation of Julie Orringer’s novel “The Flight Portfolio,” Winger is again centering real-life figures fighting against oppression. From 1940 to 1941, literary journalist Varian Fry and American heiress Mary Jayne Gold were instrumental in helping pivotal Jewish writers and artists flee France amid the Nazi occupation. However, while Esty Shapiro’s personal journey to freedom in the contemporary setting of “Unorthodox” was sharp and captivating, “Transatlantic” lacks the same sense of urgency and precision.
The visually stunning series opens in France’s Southern port city of Marseille in 1940, the final days before the Nazi’s occupation. At the time, the United States was still clinging to its neutrality, turning a blind eye to what would later turn into the Second World War and Hitler’s rampant atrocities. Varian (Cory Michael Smith) and Mary Jayne (Gillian Jacobs) decide that ambivalence isn’t an option. Forming the Emergency Rescue Committee (ERC) — later called the International Rescue Committee, Fry uses dwindling resources, the Hôtel Splendide and later the Villa Air-Bel, false documents, and Gold’s trust fund to try to get as many Jewish refugees out of Europe as possible. Among these people are writer Walter Mehring (Jonas Nay), artist Max Ernst (Alexander Fehling) and philosopher Walter
