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

Thoughtful and engaging with a wonderful performance by Winslet…

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…

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

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

Much better than expected! A complicated move…

My opinion of Kate Winslet has changed for the better since she took a few more less flattering roles; this type of role suits her a lot better…

Extremely good movie…

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

Another catch up film of the past that I missed. Hands down, Kate Winslet's best performance to date IMHO…
