Crazy credits There are no opening credits, other than the studio logo. Musice Theme Licensing Ltd. User reviews Review. Top review. Reading, Writing and the Wonderful Kate. David Hare wrote one of my favorite female characters in "Plenty", Meryl Streep brought her to life in the most extraordinary way. Here, Hare writes another power house female character. It doesn't have the intellectual aspirations of "Plenty" but there is also a form of mental illness in his character.

Kate Winslet is magnificent. Her early scenes with the wonderful David Kross are filled with compelling, contradictory and totally believable undertones. My misgivings are to be pinned on Stephen Daldry, the director.

His sins as a filmmaker start to become a sort of trade mark, visible and palpable in the moving "Billy Elliot" and the shattering "The Hours" I can't quite pinpoint what it is but in "The Reader" that element is more obvious than in the other two.

Maybe it has to do with loftiness. There are moments so frustratingly long and slow here that he lost me in more than one occasion.
