An amazing movie! The last movie that I gave five stars was 'It's A Beautiful Life'. Movies of this quality are rare and so inspiring.
What a magnificent film! Beautiful story, well acted. It is slow moving but it is like a fine wine...you savour each sip. Not to be missed.
This movie was excellent. The story, plot and the acting throughout was superb. This movie should win an award just for drawing in it's audience. You really feel for each of the characters, especially the heroine, Lizelle!
Best book I have read in years and the movie totally did it justice. Should be a contender for a number of Oscars. Just loved it!!!
A good story, a little slow at times. would make a good family movie as it depicts the Holocaust in a very mild way so to speak. All the actors were very good.
Riveting film. Worth seeing
Compelling story and excellent acting
The best movie of the year!!!I saw 12 Years a Slave and thought there could not be any better acting then what was displayed in that movie. The Book Thief was as good, perhaps even better!!!
reminds me of anne frank,a great story
Well worth seeing.
