Review of Contempt (1963)

More Reviews of The Reader

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

It is only, frankly, the strength of Winslet's performance that rises above conventional surroundings and makes The Reader the experience it…

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

You don't have the power to upset me…

The Reader is a multi-layered period drama split into three distinct sections with the first following a graphic love affair between a 15 year-old…

You don't have the power to upset me…

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

Stephen Daldry manages to move Bernhard Schlink's great novel to the big screen, being a painful and touching story that shows the struggle…

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

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