Movie Review Quot The Reader Quot

In the case of The Reader, we made a film with high aspirations and more than the usual commitment, but one that, after an early arrest, changes in a passive rumination. Image Ralph Fienne quietly looking disconsolate - get that picture in mind - and you ll have conceived the whole essence of this movie last 40 minutes.. Life sometimes has a way of starting with passion and trailing off into vague, but the film is supposed to correct, not imitate.
