Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
Opening with a sweeping shot of a train racing on snow-covered tracks, a title card reads 'Germany, February 1938'. This kind of vagueness sets up a film that brushes past details in favour of a broad-strokes Nazi movie for the whole family.

Dear Cast and Crew
Rating: 1/5 --
It's a worryingly lenient and obtuse approach to history and historical evil, which are smothered in feelgood tragi-sentimental slush.

Brian Percival delivers a quietly effective and engaging adaptation of Markus Zusak's WWII-set novel.
Variety
Rating: 2/5 --
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.

THE BOOK THIEF is a wondrous, richly textured, sometimes heartbreakingly effective movie...
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/5 --
The film-making style seems disconcertingly glossy given the downbeat themes.
