The Reader
Very well acted, and beautifully shot...but plotwise, it was somewhat dull. Even though they were very well portrayed, there weren't many characters that you could care about, not enough of the story was told. It's rare that I want a movie to be longer, but this really would have benefited from about 15-20 minutes worth of backstory for Winslett's character. As is, it was a great performance wasted on a relatively flat character.
Still...very well made. The cinematography is simply stunning.
