A very enjoyable movie for its amazing actors, unique storytelling style, and wonderful story!
"I laughed and I cried, I laughed and I cried" I was able to connect with the story and feel the emotions of the characters. What a pleasant surprise!
The pacing of this movie is a little choppy. Sometimes the camera lingers too long on the face of the little girl, Liesel, as if only to let the audience see how lovely she is. It didn't add to the emotional tone or the story. The events didn't unfold or flow nicely either. Editing problem? However, the performances of the lead actors were all good, especially Emily Watson playing the foster mother. I particularly liked the scene in which she came to school to inform Liesel that Max is alright but she pretended that she came to scold Liesel so as not to arouse any suspicion. As a whole, it's a good movie to see given it's from the perspective of a German child who also had to endu
Awesome! The story is dense and full of sensation. It could be more profound if there would be more scene of historic value. Thus, it could become a great masterpiece of its genre. It must turn into a major thriller though.
Great character development. A truly heartfelt, entertaining, and touching movie!
Very inspirational and touching movie! Great character development and plot. I watched this movie with my wife, and we both loved how the movie unfolded. Although the actors/actresses are not well known, they performed great. Highly recommended!
I really loved The Book Thief! The two main child actors were amazing as well as the emotional performances of the parents. I was also inspired by this story of perseverance during difficult times and of the power of a loving family. I highly recommend this film especially if you love books and words!
I thought it was a lovely story even though there were definitely some sad moments. It was definitely an eye opener to not only what the Jewish people faced during the Holocaust but also the German people.
the movie is amazing, very close to the book and the cast transports the magic from the novel in all the ways
Excellent movie.
