As I was watching _The Book Thief_ I spent most of the time thinking "That was an odd decision to make" but I did also have the thought process "I'm not digging this really, it's not for me, but it's not bad. Like a 5 outta 10 or something". But during the credits, my roommate who was working from home because of the COVID-19 quarantine decided she was done for the day and came out into the loungeroom, and asked me to tell her about what I'd just watched. And as I was explaining to her, or trying to, I very quickly realised, wait a minute... That was fuckin' stupid! _Final rating:★½: - Boring/disappointing. Avoid where possible._
