The Reader 9/10 and Winslett gets a 10
I never thought I would be able to empathize with an SS guard. For that I give all credit to the amazing acting talent of Kate Winslett. The parallels that are drawn evoke an emotion so far from the predicted hate and shock so as to be almost an understanding of the situation as it occurred. Outstanding. But why did my local theater open this film with showings only at 1 and 4 in the afternoon, and no night showings. Those times are normally reserved for films on the way out. Such a pity that people prefer films that are thrown in their faces like green slime.
