We just watched The Reader with Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes. Based on the German novel Der Vorleser.

I really liked it. My wife thought it was slow at first but had a good ending. It definitely earned its R rating for nudity (both male and female) and sexual situations.

The story is a little hard to describe without giving spoilers, so I'll not say much. I am still reeling from learning a spoiler on Thursday from this week's episode of Lost that ruined the surprise ending. Some shows I really need to watch on the night of broadcast.

The one thing I really did like about The Reader was how different points of view are shown in the movie. Particularly poignant was the seminar where one of the law students has an outburst about the trial. I also liked how the movie portrayed both of the main characters as emotionally closed off because of events that happened in their life.

I'd watch it again. 4 stars.
