progression through the life of Micheal, The Reader

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2009)

Great score, interesting but not invasive. Great cinematography, at times when you would expect a still shot the camera moves with the characters, helps the film's progression and although it is long it will fly by. Loved it, would recommend to anyone (over the age limit, sexually charged and explicit). Great performances from all involved, Fiennes doing his thing as usual, understated excellence. The accents are brilliant, the women beautiful and the script intelligent (reads like a play at times, heavily stylized). Definitely see this film, as Jake the Poacher might have said..."Here, Hare, here does a great directorial job".
