If you loved Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, try The Reader

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Stephen Daldry, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Reader is

Post-war Germany, autumn leaves, a rusty bicycle. A teenage boy and an older woman meet in secret, years later a courtroom. Daldry frames a complex moral reckoning.
