Interesting movie kate sure like to be naked with the young boy…

This was absolutely a phenomenal movie! Kate Winslet was excellent in her role of Hanna Schmitz. What a great movie to watch…

I was impressed with this film. It is truly memorable. The story begins with young Michael, a German boy in his teens…

A classy drama with a literary twist, charting the strange, strained relationship of Hannah (Kate Winslet) and Michael (David Kross)…

The Reader may have its flaws, but Kate Winslet´s mesmerizing multi layered performance elevates this thought provoking historical drama…

The Reader trips over itself now and then, but it remains wonderfully acted and beautifully realized…

Disgusting and dull. (First and only viewing - 3/15/2010)…

Whether the source material or Hare's tinkering is to blame for the fact that the story keeps the viewer at arm's length, the end result is…

Psychological morality play, romance and WWII aftermath…

I found this movie very touching, and moving. I was crying about half the time during the film…
