In 1995, a German man reminisces about a relationship he had, as a.

Teenager, in 1958 with an older woman. He also remembers what happened.

Subsequent to that, including her standing trial for war crimes.

Committed during World War 2, and the secret which denied her justice...

Excellent movie. Searingly emotional with an original, intriguing and.

Thought-provoking plot.

Direction is spot-on. Pacing is perfect.

Kate Winslet is mind-bogglingly brilliant in the lead role and well.

Deserved her Best Leading Actress Oscar.

Ralph Fiennes puts in his usual solid performance. The revelation.

Though is David Kross, who brings a maturity beyond his years.

A must-see movie, and an instant classic.
