Considering all the behind-the-scenes controversy surrounding this movie (in a nutshell, the producer Scott Rudin and the studio head Harvey Weinstein were battling over whether or not the film could be ready in time for an Oscar push this fall), I'm very curious to see if the film is worth the fuss.
Starring Ralph Fiennes, David Kross and Kate Winslet and directed by Stephen Daldry from a bestselling novel, "The Reader" is a time-spanning story about an unorthodox love affair between a teenager and an older woman set in post-World War II Germany. It debuts in NY, LA and San Francisco on Dec. 10th before expanding nationwide on Christmas Day.
