The Reader

After the excellent "The Hours", director Stephen Daldry and writer David Hare deliver another finely tuned, meticulously layered and emotionally devastating film about the powers of love, secrets and guilt on both personal and national level. It's no small feat to pull of but Daldry does it by having an impeccable cast that includes the always reliable Ralph Fiennes and the fearless Kate Winslet who along with Cate Blanchett are one of the few actresses who can do no wrong. The film is first rate from every aspect and is one of the last films produced by the late Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack. YRCinema's coverage of current releases.
