The Reader é um dos filmes que mais aguardo este ano. Não só por ser protagonizado por uma das minhas actrizes favoritas, Kate Winslet, mas também pela poderosa e pesada trama.
O filme ainda não foi lançado nos Estados Unidos; apesar de um lançamento limitado a 10 de Dezembro (para poder ser elegível para os Óscares), só tem estreia marcada para 9 Janeiro. No entanto, já começam a surgir as primeiras críticas, e, não obstante algumas apontações menores, as previsões parecem muito boas!
À frente, alguns excertos publicados pelo Hollywood Reporter, Variety e Newsweek acerca do filme:
"Michael is shaken to his core by growing evidence that his first love is, by any standard, a monster. But how does one deal with a monster who is a lover? One can only condemn her; but in that condemnation, where lies the process of understanding?
The film makes no attempt to answer this question if indeed there is an answer. There is an explanation, not immediately apparent, for why Hanna found herself in a position to dictate life or death. But there is neither an excuse nor an offer of atonement ready for her.
(...)
To Winslet and Kross belong the gutsy, intense performances of the film. Lena Olin as a unyielding camp survivor and Bruno Ganz as a sagacious law professor put in memorable appearances."
(The Hollywood Reporter)
"Stephen Daldry's film is sensitively realized and dramatically absorbing, but comes across as an essentially cerebral experience without gut impact
(...)
Winslet supplies a haunting shell to this internally decimated woman, one who can perhaps momentarily escape from her shame through sex but for whom there is no past she can possibly face and no future to anticipate"
(Variety)
"The Reader is not about the horrors of the "final solution." It's about how Michael deals with the fact that the great first love of his life was implicated in these atrocities (Aushwitz).
(...)
The Reader can feel stilted and abstract: the film's only flesh-and-blood characters spend half the movie separated. But its emotional impact sneaks up on you. "The Reader" asks tough questions, and, to its credit, provides no easy answers."
