The Reader (2008) short review

Kendra May 7, 2008

2008 The Reader

A thoughtful adaptation of a controversial book that explores the difficulties for later generations to reconcile the Holocaust in Germany. Kate Winslet gives an impressive performance in the lead role. The costumes are nicely done, although they aren’t the least bit spangly (as in appropriate). This one will leave you thinking for a while!
