In The Reader, Ralph Fiennes plays Michael Berg as an older man reflecting on a complicated past. He portrayed Michael’s quiet guilt and lingering emotions genuinely. Fiennes didn’t overact, letting the weight of the story come through naturally. His scenes showed a man grappling with unresolved feelings about his past relationship and the consequences of uncovering painful truths. The way he connected his present self with his younger version added depth to the story. Fiennes’ performance was understated but powerful, making the character’s emotional journey believable and relatable.
