Review of The Book Thief (2013) by Shawn S — 23 Feb 2014
In the immortal words of Kate Winslet in "Extras", "How many more movies about the Holocaust do we need? It was grim, we get it!" Well, I don't mean to knock this film too badly.
It's far from a bad film. It's just merely a bit generic. So many great films about the same subject have been done and their notes have been reprised here. It's almost a mish-mash of everything.
That said, it's a well-made film with very nice performances (Sophie Nelisse is a talent to watch out for). The film is heartfelt but a little bit TOO bleak.
