The Reader is a film that explores the complexities of love and guilt amidst the backdrop of post-Holocaust Germany. Kate Winslet delivers a powerful performance as Hanna Schmitz, a woman who engages in an affair with a much younger Michael Berg, played by David Kross, and later faces trial for her role as a Nazi prison guard. The film is beautifully shot and features strong performances from its cast, including Ralph Fiennes as the adult Michael. However, the film has been criticized for its portrayal of the Holocaust and the character of Hanna, who is ultimately reduced to her illiteracy as the source of her shame. The film attempts to grapple with weighty themes but falls short in its execution, feeling at times contrived and emotionally manipulative. Nonetheless, The Reader remains a thought-provoking film that raises important questions about the moral responsibility of individuals and nations in the face of tragedy.

To avoid legal consequences, the crew delayed the filming of sexually-explicit scenes until after actor David Kross' 18th birthday on July 4, 2008.
David Kross learned English especially for the film.
Kate Winslet's omission of Harvey Weinstein in her Oscar-win acceptance speech was intentional. Although he hadn't sexually propositioned her, she found his aggressive 'business behavior' with her over the years to be downright repugnant, so she purposefully did not thank him.
When selling the rights to his novel, Bernhard Schlink insisted that the film be shot in English.
Talking with The Sun in 2012 about her nude scenes in this and other films, Kate Winslet admitted "I look like the people that walk down the street. I don't have perfect boobs, I don't have zero cellulite. Of course I don't, and I'm curvy. If that is something that makes women feel empowered in any way, that's great. On a deeper, subconscious level, it's one of the reasons why I've allowed my stupid self to be so naked on screen," Winslet said. "It's partly because I do believe that it's right for the character and it's right for the story but it's also knowing that not many people do that, actually, and not just that, but I'm a normal person."
"Michael: I'm not frightened. I'm not frightened of anything. The more I suffer, the more I love. Danger will only increase my love. It will sharpen it, it will give it spice. I will be the only angel you need. You will leave life even more beautiful than you entered it. Heaven will take you back and look at you and say: Only one thing can make a soul complete, and that thing is love."
"Michael: I don't know what to say. I've never been with a woman before. We've been together four weeks, and I can't live without you. I can't. Even the thought of it kills me."
