Winslet and Fiennes, two of my most favourite actor's I have to see this…

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

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

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

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

Much better than expected! A complicated move…

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

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

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

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