The Reader Review

Overall Rating

The Reader is a sombre film with a twist at the end that I can't believe I hadn't guessed already! I think it was a good film but the subject matter made it difficult to love! An interesting and hard hitting story line, the pace in the second half really picked up. Much of the first quarter- half was overlong and dragged a little. I also found the subject matter quite uncomfortable and not that feasible and it was difficult to warm to the characters.
