The Book Thief - Review

It takes a while to understand what this movie is really about until almost halfway into the movie, but that is okay.  The time setting of World War II tells a great tale of a young girl who overcomes a struggle of not being able to read and winds up linking with the right people to do just that.  The people she meets has a great influence on her as the story really unveils itself very well.  The acting and story are truly remarkable, but are very sad at the same token.  I think that the movie serves a purpose to describe what could have happened at this cold period of time and it really conveyed its message well.  I found the movie to be very uplifting, but I thought that some parts were stretched out way to much as the film could have been shortened a bit.  Overall, it is a film that will attract to many and I don't think many will walk away disappointed.

Rating - 3.5/5
