I saw this my 11 yr old daughter and we both enjoyed it. It's a poignant story of bravery and friendship in the face of hardship and injustice. Beautifully filmed and acted. Definitely recommend this as a family film.

Very poignant, inspiring life story of Lisel. It depicts the importance and benefits of knowing how to read. War bring so much pain and sufferings in peoples lives. There is so much love, caring, respect and trust of all the main characters. Love it and will recomemd to my friend to see it.

"The Book Thief," is adapted from Markus Zusak's best-selling novel. At first I was skeptical. Not sure if this was going to be a boring documentary. How mistaken I was! Awesome movie.... from the very beginning to the end. The best movie I have seen in a very long time. There was humor and seriousness. There were tears of joy and tears of sadness. Very emotional.

I really enjoyed the movie. Geoffrey Rush, Emily Watson and Sophie Nelisse were wonderful in their roles. It showed how a family is sometimes made in even tragic circumstances.

I was a little worried that this could be another sad, depressing movie about this terrible period of history. But it wasn't. The charming young lead actress, Sophie Nélisse (Canadian), made the movie a pleasure to watch, along with her more well-known co-stars. The narrator, Death, who is sympathetic to humans and dislikes war, seems unnecessary to the movie, but luckily the voice-over doesn't happen much. Amidst this terrible war, along with the persecution and accompanying fears of the times, the movie is really about a fostered girl trying to adapt to her new circumstances. I haven't read the award-winning book on which the movie was based, but this touching and very special movie makes

The Book Thief is beautifully photographed with a poingnant story very well acted by everyone that has a lovely Disneyesque jewel-like quality to it. Wonderful to see Emily Watson in a movie again.
