  • Trailer Reviews

    • "Pros: Why don't you start by being honest with me? A great opening line for a trailer. Had me hooked."
    • "Cons: Maybe it shows us too much. I'd rather not know the Winslet character's affiliations. Then again, the trailer suggests this story is more than tragic romance."— Mlive.comMLive.com: New Trailers: 'The Reader (November 6, 2008)
