Beautiful cinematic masterpiece

Rating: 9/10 (30 March 2014)

I will start this review by saying i've felt incredible touched by this movie, it really got into me, make me feel all the range of human emotions and I felt so much grateful for that!!.
Now, let me tell you why.
The book thief describes with incredible passion the story of our little girl, the book thief from her early days going to a foster parent home after leaving her mother and loosing his brother, going through her life with her new family in the worst possible moment in humanity, the second world war.
Now, here is the wonderful thing about this movie, it has so much heart into it that you will definitely cry in some point of the movie.
The actors not only did an splendid job, they act so naturally that you simply forget they are acting, something not so easy to do these days, on top of that, their chemistry is so good on screen that you will feel them as your own family, living the good and the bad things with them and make them part of you.
This movie shows in perfect depiction how the human being can be so cruel and so pure at the same time and contrary to some other movies related to that period in time, this one is incredible heart touching.
The inner light this characters carry though the story is simply something beautiful to watch and it will make you honor and enjoy your life more.
There is so much good things about this movie, from the incredible profound soundtrack made by John Williams to the perfect acting of Sophie Nélisse as our book thief little girl to the incredible well developed foster parents, acting as opposites, the grumpy old "Mama" played by no less than Emily Watson and the good and lovely "papa" played so well by Geoffrey Rush. Finally adding a perfect screenplay, enjoyable dialog, incredible visuals and the perfect angel of dead voice over by Roger Allam who really does an outstanding job !
Seeing this movie is really a relief, when you think cinema is stuck in the CGI/FX dumb era, then every now and then a director step in and makes cinematic delights like this one, showing what cinema is really all about.
Please, go see it, but do so with an open heart, this movie does require commitment and is not for someone that goes to the cinema to just be "entertained".
Perfect 9 out of 10, this is simply a masterpiece.
