The Reader [Blu-ray] Reviews By Customers
This movie will take your breath away, I am glad that Kate winslet took the role rather than Nicole kidman taking it, I am sure Nicole would have done the same job but Kate winslet was a quality actress in this movie, I was shocked that Hanna died at the end of the movie, I wonder why Kate winslet keeps on taking roles that has death at the end.

Jack died at the end of the movie: “Titanic”
April died at the end of the movie: “Revolutionary road”
Hanna died at the end of the movie: “The Reader”

The Reader – Jerry L. Lambeth – NC
Slow story line, too much nudity, male & female but that is part of the story. Really gets interesting half way throught. Twist at the end of the movie, good watch.

Irony and Falsehood – Lev Raphael – Okemos, MI United States
I’ve read the book and seen the movie and while the movie is less tendentious and historically false than the book, it has serious moral problems as one reviewer notes. By sexualizing Kate Winslett and making her vulnerable through her nudity, it pushes us to both sympathize and eroticize her character, judging her despicable behavior much more difficult. But make no mistake: she was not powerless despite the movie’s shameful attempt to make us believe she was. Nor is her “secret” remotely believable in the context of the times. I’ve reviewed the movie elsewhere, and am very sorry that so many viewers and reviewers think this is a profound treatment of the Holocaust or the human condition or anything at all:

[...]

The greatest irony of all is that Kate Winslett, playing a foul-mouthed actress on “Extras,” said that the only way to get an Oscar was to play a “cripple” or be in a Holocaust movie. The writers of “Extras” certainly got that one right.

Wonderful film – F. B. NEVES –
A wonderful film and a blu-ray edition with excellent picture quality. Not for everyone, however.
