Riveting, intense, emotional rollercoaster, well worth the time.
omg....best movie ever! I laughed, I cried, I felt I was there....soo many emotions!
Great movie to watch !! Great characters, great story about a yound lady who wants to fight her illeteracy and she loses important in her life throughout the movie..her adaptation throughout her life!
In one word..."WOW". This movie was incredible. The historical content is worth seeing alone, but the beautiful messages that come from such a time of turmoil, mixed with the reality of the wartime they were all entrenched in, will warm your heart. Absolutely a must see - you will not be disappointed.
loved it...a truly special movie
Good movie
A great movie during Nazi days filmed in Germany, it was very emotional, a lot of drama, a little comedy and a story of a young lady who has to adapt to losing her family and friends because of several tragedies..excellent story and film!
It was so good, I want to purchase the dvd.
Excellent story, very moving, some humour, some tears
You follow the emotions and confusion of a young girl from the innocence of childhood to being a naive young woman. Her only escape and happiness comes from reading books. She has been thrown into a world at war and has to keep secrets that would get her and her adoptive family killed. The casting of the characters is superb.
