Review: The Reader 10:11pm on 01 Feb 2009 C'mon Kermode! Though I can appreciate the Oscar obvious intention of the film, homing in on the sex
scenes is a bit much - you KNOW that the nudity makes the woman much more 'real' and human. So when we see the trial we think yes, she's a horrible woman but she is a human and just maybe that law student was right and it is abit unfair she takes the fall, blah blah blah. Without the 'gratutious' nudity in the first act, the audiences view of her would not have been as personal when we see her on trial. Exploitation movies ... do we knock Spielberg for his big-budget B-movie/exploitation movie that became 'Jaws'? (Maybe we knock him a little...)
