The Reader will be my favorite movie of 2008.
Kate Winslet is phenomenal in the lead role in The Reader, a difficult film to sit through because of its subject matter but one that doesn't attempt to apologize or make excuses for the unbelievably evil acts committed by its lead character. The Reader is one of those movies that's going to split the audience reaction into two camps - you'll love it or loathe it. There's no middle of the road with this dramatic film which focuses on the aftermath of the Holocaust and its affect on survivors.
