The Reader

Did anyone read the script?

Crass, preposterous and poorly directed and these are some of the more generous thoughts on this piffle.
Dear Kate must have got her Oscar for best nips, though in fairness she did her best trying to portray three different characters, each distinct from the other.

It's tempting to blame the novel on which this is based. But from all accounts this is even worse as it makes more explicit the claim that Kate's character realised the holocaust was wrong simply by learning to read. Possibly the only thing that director Stephen Baldry did right was to excise this from the cinema version.
