Maybe I have had very high expectations of this film, since Almodovar is my favourite director, but I felt somewhat confused…

This movie won two Oscars...it must have been a bad year at the movies. The movie never can decide if it wants to be a comedy or a thriller…

Very odd, Al Pacino looks terrible, Robin Williams is completely underused, Hilary Swank isn't in the poster. Some nice photography…

Review of Taxi Driver (1976)

By Nightwingnova (2) on 12 Dec 2011

An unjustifiably celebrated movie. Scorsese directs well enough. The actors are good (especially Jodie Foster and Harvey Keitel)…

Review of Contempt (1963)

By Ben H (1,875) on 25 Mar 2013

This is not satire. This is self-indulgence. Godard's 'Contempt' is a lifeless, soulless trudge full of conceit and pseudointellectualism…

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…

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

What a deep movie! The first 30-45 minutes with the affair was the most enjoyable and emotion filled portions of the movie…

Much better than expected! A complicated move…

Slow burn of a movie about long ago first love. Just awesome. Kate Winslet deserved her Oscar…

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

Very touching movie with ultra nuanced Kate Winslet performance as former ex-Nazi…

Kate is so damn fabulous every time. This story uses the nazi germans as element of guilt in a sexual love story between a woman and a boy…

Quite a different and interesting approach to a very sensitive subject, despite its many obvious flaws…

Extremely good movie…
