Review of The Reader (2008)

By Adam (45) on 26 Dec 2008

It's a very good movie, and not dull at all…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 25 Dec 2008

A movie that's never bad but too easy to forget by the time you move on to the next book on your list of cinematic adaptations…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Brandon Fibbs (448) for Colorado Springs Gazette (140) on 25 Dec 2008

If the first half of The Reader is erotic and sensual, with naked bodies in various states of repose and impassioned lovemaking, the second…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By James Verniere (1,180) for Boston Herald (1,433) on 25 Dec 2008

While the premise is both precious and macabre, the acting is fine…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Cole Haddon (33) for Film.com (1,892) on 25 Dec 2008

The Reader is a dull slog of a movie gussied up by two Oscar-nominated actors -- Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By J. R. Jones (1,337) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 25 Dec 2008

Surrounding the Holocaust morality play is another story that's more modestly scaled and, in this age of unashamed romance between older women…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Peter Sobczynski (1,159) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 25 Dec 2008

A film that features an admittedly extraordinary performance from Kate Winslet surrounded by a lot of other stuff that doesn't work nearly…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) (2,277) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 24 Dec 2008

Best evidence of what a magnetic presence Kate Winslet is: When her role diminishes in the second half of The Reader, the movie disintegrates…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Gary Thompson (1,554) for Philadelphia Daily News (1,596) on 24 Dec 2008

Winslet's been justly praised for her work here, but her contribution is mostly confined to the first half of The Reader…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Tom Long (1,693) for Detroit News (2,682) on 24 Dec 2008

At times The Reader is an interesting exploration of both the needs of man and the limits of law…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 24 Dec 2008

Winslet is outstanding, particularly given that Hanna is such an unsympathetic character…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Orlando Sentinel (1,594) on 23 Dec 2008

The Reader, distant though it can be, touches and provokes a mulling over of the Holocaust like few films on the subject in recent memory…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 22 Dec 2008

Intelligent and impeccably crafted but...also rather remote and chilly, the kind of film in which craft trumps heart...ultimately fails to…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Jordan Hiller (219) for Bangitout.com (219) on 22 Dec 2008

[The Reader] is positively goyish in its glassy eyed treatment of Jew killing, not that it aims to be anything more than an exercise in moral…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Jules Brenner (885) for Cinema Signals (847) on 21 Dec 2008

Literature as aphrodisiac - merits the attention of discerning audiences who will also want to see it for Winslet's nuanced, sensual performance…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Sara Michelle Fetters (1,688) for MovieFreak.com (1,674) on 21 Dec 2008

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Eric D. Snider (2,489) for EricDSnider.com (2,026) on 21 Dec 2008

Whatever legitimacy the story once had must have been lost in translation, because what appears on the screen is a cold, artless lump…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Jeffrey Chen (849) for Window to the Movies (638) on 19 Dec 2008

It tries for depth while holding your hand and glossing its surface; in the end, you get what you'd expect, which is a decent Holocaust-related…

Review of The Reader (2008)

By Robin Clifford (1,670) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 14 Dec 2008
