I promised I wouldn’t use the family blog to opine about every movie I see. But there are exceptions to the rule, and The Reader is one of them. Benezra and I saw it last night. Definitely the best movie I’ve seen in a long, long, long while. Even slightly better than Slumdog.

Kids, if you read this years from now, go download or call or whatever it is you do to get movies — do that to The Reader. It’s time well spent.
