Unfortunately, not good as expected

Rating: 6/10 (10 July 2019)

2nd wold war is sill a charming subject for all art works. But, existing productions which have become touchstones determine some adequacy boundaries for the new ones. The masterpiece works like Pianist, Schindler's list, Life is Beatiful or the recent examles; Dunkirk, Son of Saul have created an overall degree of II. World War films. Thus, every new production should pay attention to previous works to catch an original point of view on a subject which is treated many many times.
The Book Thief, unfortunately, can't avoid falling traps and presents lots of cliche during the whole movie.
Exaggerated dialogues, idealised characters and impresice settings...
So, what a pity, this movie is not more than a titbits.
