The Reader

I LOVED LOVED LOVED LOVED the book and so of course the movie couldn't hold a candle to it.

But having said that, Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes work so well together. The cultural regret of Germany post-WWII is really well captured and overall the movie was very convincing. The only problem I have is too many unanswered questions and not enough resolution at the end of the film where there should have been.

Otherwise, w00t.
