The Reader
The Reader: coming-of-age story of one man’s lifelong obsession with a book-loving dyslexic nazi lesbian paedophile war-criminal. Loads of ethical questions raised about the Holocaust and the guilt of Germany’s next generation. Kross Fiennes, and Winslet all acted well, but the latter two had weak German accents (Vy do oll jermens tolk like zeis?). In General, I always think it’s quite off how big studios think that UK/US actors with slight accents dupe audiences into believing the film is set there. You can tell it’s a well-made film, but it’s definitely one for the girls as it’s essentially a drawn-out, banal love story.
Score: 4/10
