I thought it was a solid film and enjoyed it a lot. Some other reviews I've read commented on how it over simplified and "fluffed" the harshness and realities of WWII and the holocaust- which I have to acknowledge as well. But they stayed true (enough) to the book, so if you liked the book, you'll probably enjoy the movie. I did.

This movie was heartwarming and beautiful. It tells the story of a young girl named Liesl who is taken from her mother and placed in the care of adoptive parents. The movie follows Liesl throughout her life as she forms bonds and relationships with people and also as she loses many of those who are close to her due to the war and the Nazi party. The one constant in her life appears to be her love of books. It seems to be this love that steadies her through all of her heart-breaking losses. This was a beautiful movie, and the best that I have seen in quite a few years. It is definitely worth seeing!

It was the best movie I have ever seen! I didn't know of the bestselling book and had no idea of the story. So it was a great surprise. The cast is phenominal...especially the young girl and the father. The audience (myself included) applauded at the end.

Was lucky enough to attend a screening for this movie and loved it.Everyone is amazing in it, Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson are always great in everything they do but such a treat to watch the young actors that I didn't know in this movie. Sophie Nelisse and Nico Liersch are adorable and amazing in every scene. Everyone in the theatre had a tear in their eyes for sure at the end as did I. Great movie for all ages.
