Disappointment compared with book but worth watching

Rating: 7/10 (12 October 2019)

I originally read the book few years back and fell in love with the story, the way it unfolds the events fits perfectly for someone to imagine the scene in front of them. And it is really touching to imagine war and how life was under Hitler's regime from a child's perspective and how she handled keeping a Jew in their basement at a time when Jews were displaced and killed.
However when I watched the movie itself, it lacked the same emotions that I imagined that the characters were going through. Generally speaking the actors themselves were suitable for the roles. Moreover, like any other book-based movie, there were so many deleted moments and critical events that explained why some things happened the way they happened.
