How Romantic! Chick Flick all the way!

Rating: 9/10 (22 March 2014)

The Reader is a movie about a woman who spends her entire life doing unfavorable things and making improper choices in efforts to conceal her disability. Her shame dictates her every move and even makes a martyr out of her. Fortunately, an unsuspecting victim of her low self-esteem grew to love her. Loving her gave this victim pleasure but stifled him simultaneously. Via his love, he chose to suffer through the disability with her, never replacing her as long as he lived. Isn't that romantic? I am so jealous that I still can't find a love like this! This movie gets points for originality, superb acting, an interesting plot, and a heart-melting love story. The Reader is SO SWEET, and would have gotten a 10/10 if the useless 15 minutes at the end was edited out.
