Customer Ratings & Reviews

This movie is about a girl who gets adopted by a German couple during WWII and she finds books as an escape from what's happening around her.

I love this movie and learning about the Holocaust. I purchased this DVD to watch on a portable DVD player while traveling. I would recommend.

Great acting, wonderful dircting! A must see if you loved the book and even if you didn't read the book!

Intense and well done. This will probably be a bit much for the younger members of the family. Tackles issues of racism, and the value of life.

The book is quite good 'n our family is planning on watching the movie together. Very good plot 'n looking forward to watching this movie.

Wife and kids love the movie although they said that it didn't quite match the book version. So, watch the movie first then read the book if you're one of those who reads the book and follows on movie!

A thoughtful, intelligent movie. Well-scripted and acted, it shows how people, innocent and not so innocent, were ensnared by the rise of National Socialism.

the storyline and movie heading tells a chilling story of oppression it shows the ugly story of war its effects on civilians well worth a watch

Very educational. The movie is based on the book of the same name. Excellent acting. I highly recommend the film for the entire family.

Excellent! I bought this movie for my mom because it was cheap. Turns out she said it was an awesome movie and can't wait to read the book.

The Book Thief has been one of my favorite books for a very long time. I think that they adapted the novel very well and I really enjoyed the movie

Love this movie - The book and movie we're so close, the movie did a great job and depicting the entire book without leaving much out

I've seen this several times, and have enjoyed it every time. I had to add it to my collection, especially at such a great price. Win-win!

this one will be a "keeper" in our movie collection. Our family reads all the time and so it holds a special place in the hearts of readers.

This is such a beautiful story about friendship love and death. It was beautifully filmed. I can watch this movie over and over, and it will never get old.

I wanted to see this movie when it was in theaters but never did. So I'm really looking forward to watching this movie. It seems like it'll be good.

This is a great story told from the perspective of death and a different perspective of what Germany was like for many citizens during WWII.

Another Great movie about the sadness of war taken from a different perspective. Those living in the war zone during WW2, while protecting a Jew.

After reading the book, I was a little leery about seeing the movie. However, this movie did not disappoint. Great story with great acting!

This movie is an excellent take on the time frame it is meant to portray. Terrific acting and plot. Geoffrey Rush is excellent as always.
