It's a good movie
I enjoyed this movie's mix of drama and humour but I felt it was cut short with a unsatisfying ending
The movie was Fabulous. I found it to be a great adaptation of the book, with a superb casting all around. I loved all the characters portrayed, but Sophie Nelisse and Nico Liersch touched my soul with their talent as Liesel and Rudy. I believe the movie reached its goal of capturing the spirit and the emotional complexity of the book, of this story. Absolutely loved it.
The Book Thief was such a joy and of course sadness with an overall gift of laughter and true friendship and love. This proves we all need friendship and love in a time of need.
This movie was very insightful, very intense and emotional during several parts of the viewing..It did contain laughs at times and suspense. I would certainly purchase it when it sells on DVD.
The Book Thief is a lovely movie about a girl living in a dangerous time. It's 1938 when Liesl goes to live with her new foster parents. She slowly adjusts to her new life while the Nazi party grows in power. We see ordinary German citizens going about their lives and trying to survive. It should have been depressing but it's not. We see how small acts of kindness could cause trouble later but also how they could give others hope.
Good performance. Characters well played. Heartfelt and touching story. Enjoyed the movie.
Moving and wonderful.
A moving story based on the best selling novel, love and life goes on in the darkest time during World war II.
A wonderful, touching and a warm story about World War II from a young girl's perspective. Excellent acting performances by a solid acting assemble that included Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson, and a young Sophie Nélisse. Amazing set and camera work and definitely worth seeing.
