I thought the story was very inspiring and the acting was amazing. The movie was over 2 hours long but you sure did not notice as the movie kept your interest.

The movie was better than I thought it would be. The young girl was very good!

We enjoyed watching the movie a lot. I got quite emotional in some scenes...but overall, it was very entertaining.

The movie is quite faithful to the book and is quite intense. Liesel Meminger, is played by the wonderful 13-year-old French-Canadian newcomer Sophie Nelisse.I would recommend the viewing of this movie for his depiction of life under nazi rules.

A moving account of a young girl during WWII Germany and the hardships she endured. Being sent to live with a new family, making new friends, hiding a young Jewish boy, all while reading books and opening her mind to new worlds. A must see movie!!

Well written and acted. A little slow moving at first, but still really enjoyable. Haven't read the book the movie is based on, but I think now I will.

a tremendous film, with Academy Award performances by the three principals, time very well spent indeed

So sad and enriching at the same time. Exquisite acting by all and powerful on all levels.

Although the subject matter of the movie was really serious, I thought it maintained a good balance with the intensity of the time period, the relationships forged and the incredible humour. Geoffrey Rush as always is stellar, but the others were not too far behind. The cinematography was great as well - I felt I was there along with everyone. Overall, a good movie.

Great movie. Amazing storyline and I got really emotional connecting with the characters.
