The Reader

Certificate: 15
Running Time: 124 minutes
Director: Stephen Daldry


This has quickly become a favourite of mine. The story of two very different individuals; Hanna Schmitz (Kate Winslet) and Michael Berg (David Kross, Ralph Fiennes), set in post World War Germany. Although Hanna is almost twice the age of this fifteen year old boy, they quickly, yet reluctantly become lovers for a summer. The tale unravels as years later, both become involved with a court case in different ways - thrusting them back into each other’s lives. A very well deserved Oscar for Kate Winslet. A captivating storyline to be enjoyed by all. 

Rating: *****
