It may span the most significant decades of last century, but The Book Thief pretty much boils down to girl-lives-with-family, girl-learns-to-read - for two hours.

The film-making style seems disconcertingly glossy given the downbeat themes.

The film is nothing more than a cliche, trying to introduce the subject of war to younger viewers without offering anything of interest to older ones.

[Percival] certainly makes everything look pretty, although neither he nor Michael Petroni, who wrote the script, seem able to give the story a sense of momentum or tension, or even locate it in a world that's recognisably real.

As it is, The Book Thief still finds its way into your heart slowly and over time, and it stays there way after leaving the theater.

Since the story is essentially Anne Frank re-gendered, why bother at all?

It's certainly pretty to look at, reminiscent of those Disneyland parades where horses are much in evidence, but their excrement (thanks to neat little sacks attached to the creatures' nether regions) never soils the ground.
