You don't have the power to upset me…

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…

Winslet deserves an Oscar for her amazing performance…

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

Kate Winslet was great in this film, totally deserving while The Reader just suffers from Oscar-bait tropes and a weird time gap with plot…

Extremely good movie…
