Sophie Nélisse (star of Monsieur Lazhar) is the reason why you should see this movie. She and Geoffrey Rush are terrific in The Book Thief, but it's Nélisse who carries the film. Emily Watson, who's no slouch herself, is practically invisible in this movie. I have not read the original novel, but it seemed like the movie's ending was rushed. Apart from that, the film is well made.
