Bonding and the study of human psychology

Rating: 7/10 (22 April 2010)

Although it wasn't powerful or riveting as I thought it would be, it's still a alright film. Ralph Fiennes, David Kross, and Kate Winslet was perfect for there roles, especially Kate and glad they didn't cast her role with some other actress. The film has to do with a boy reading to a grown woman and build a relationship because of it and crimes committed during Nazi occupation that comes back, for redemption although Kate Winslet's character didn't seem to feel much guilt for most part. Like she said, she was only following orders, plus others that were involved much more gets off with a way lighter sentence. And during Kate Winslet's characters prison term is when Ralph Fiennes becomes her reader once again, and helps her through the time she has left behind bars. The movies has some wonderful moments, but a it's a very slow paced film to the point it can get a big annoying sometimes, and parts of it seem to drag on and on. But overall it's a decent drama with some good performances, it could have been better if it was a bit more faster paced and the script had a bit more to offer.
7.5/10
