We went to this to see how it compared with Changeling - both the subject of Oscar 'best actress' nominations. Either actress could have won; the thing that set them apart was that The Reader was a much less distressing film! It was a good adulty type film. Certainly worth 4 stars.

Very moving. With a bit of a slow start it got to a very moving, action packed movie.
Do not miss it!

Acting ok but the storyline is very very rubbish. I won't reccommend this movie to anyone. Dosen't deserve more than a half star, SINCERELY.
