An Oscar winning performance by Kate Winslet

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2019)

The Reader is an Romantic Drama Movie starring Kate Winslet, Ralph Fiennes and David Kross in the lead roles and is directed by Stephen Daldry.
The movie tells the story of a teenager falling in love with an older woman who suddenly vanished and being on trial for being a nazi guard after a decade.
The movie is a beautiful movie with main highlight is the Oscar winning and truly deserving acting by Kate Winslet.
The movie leaves few disturbing unanswered questions. Was Hanna a ruthless killer or a victim of circumstance? Also asking from the prosecutor that she was just a guard and what could the prosecutor could've done if he would've been in her place and the answer is a strange silence.
The acting by all the characters is impeccable so as the screenplay and direction. Background music is also good.
Overall a nice gripping and engaging although few may have quibbles about the morality but as a piece of cinema the movie is one of the beautiful movie in its own genre.
