This is a great film for the whole family based on the novel of the same name by Markus Zusak. Based on the beloved best-selling book comes an “extremely moving” (Leonard Maltin, Indiewire) story of a girl who transforms the lives of those around her during World War II, Germany. When her mother can no longer care for her, Liesel (Sophie Nélisse) is adopted by a German couple (OSCAR® Winner Geoffrey Rush and OSCAR® Nominee Emily Watson). Although she arrives illiterate, Liesel is encouraged to learn to read by her adoptive father. When the couple then takes in Max (Ben Schnetzer), a Jew hiding from Hitler’s army, Liesel befriends him. Ultimately, words and imagination provide the friends with an escape from the events unfolding around them in this extraordinary, acclaimed film directed by Brian Percival (Downton Abbey).
My 15 year old is learning about WWII Germany in her world history class right now, I really think this would be a good movie for all of us to see. Grab the kids, some popcorn, and print out the discussion guide for a night in!

It’s such an important time period and I can already picture how the words of the books Max reads to Liesel come alive for her.

The fact that we’re seeing a side of the Holocaust that’s not usually present – the effect of the Germans.
