Description

Sympathize with a nazi? No thanks! The Reader left us puzzled about what the film makers wanted us to feel. The movie has powerhouse performances all around, and we enjoyed the non-linear timeline, but we couldn't necessarily get behind feeling bad for someone who became a nazi because they couldn't read? They seduced a child because they couldn't read? Like we said, no thanks.
