The Reader - 3.5/4 stars
This movie was really good but fell short for me in the last 30 minutes or so. It didn't quite accomplish what it was going for, but it was still way above most movies. Great performances by Ralph Fiennes, Kate Winslet, and David Kross. This movie does contain plot events about the holocaust, WWII, and a relationship between a 15 year old boy and a 35 year old woman, but none of these is what the movie is about despite what the rest of the world says. It's about what goes on in the human mind when forced to choose humility or responsibility.
