"It is Kate Winslet’s face and Kate Winslet’s face alone that looks out from the cover of the new ‘now a major motion picture’ paperback edition of Bernhard Schlink’s exceptional novel, The Reader, and that’s as it should be," writes Kenneth Turan in the Los Angeles Times.
"For though The Reader costars the gifted Ralph Fiennes and gives a lot of screen time to a young actor named David Kross, it is Winslet’s haunting performance that gives the film what success it has."

Kate Winslet is one of the frontrunners for the 2009 Academy Awards for both The Reader and Revolutionary Road.
