I loved "The Book Thief" -- also liked "The Monuments Men" -- but found the the second rather more Americanized than I'd like. The story bigs up the American role and diminishes the role of others in the project.

The Book Thief is wonderfully nuanced and deserves the acclaim. I think it is also a film that would resonate with teens and young adults.
