** The film's take on Michael and Hanna's relationship is that it was borderline abusive and very wrong. Yet the scenes of the affair revel in {{Fanservice}}y shots of nude Kate Winslet, and the statutory rapist is presented as merely a complicated person, as opposed to a predatory adult taking advantage of a minor.

You are not meant to think that being illiterate is worse than being a Nazi. That is a completely wrong interpretation.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: As described [[http://www.slate.com/articles/life/the_spectator/2009/02/dont_give_an_oscar_to_the_reader.html here]], the film invites the viewer to sympathise with a former concentration camp guard who was complicit in the murder of three hundred Jewish women (and the director avoided showing that scene so that the audience wouldn't have an "unbalanced" view of her). It also portrays an affair between said woman and a sixteen-year-old with gratuitous nudity from both (and the {{Squick}}y behind the scenes note that the filmmakers waited until the actor turned eighteen so they could legally film him nude). The kicker is the film's attempt to imply that Hanna being illiterate is somehow worse than the atrocities she committed while in the SS, and also trying to frame her as not knowing the true extent of the crimes, even though she personally selected women to be killed.
