Chief Chick Comments

For me, this is perhaps the best movie of 2013. It touches many chords and sentiments with even some humor usually provided by Papa played by Geoffrey Rush or Liesl's best friend Rudy. As the years of World War II pass, life becomes harder in the village in which Liesl lives. She finds an ally in an unusual place. Sophie Nélisse has a remarkable face and is a wonderful young actress. I think you will love this movie which is based on the bestseller by the Australian author, Markus Zusak.
