The Bookshop reviews

Newly-widowed, a woman attempts to realise her dream of opening a bookshop in a remote island location. However, the matriarch of the village has other plans and does her worst to thwart to young widow. An ally is found in a young girl and an elderly and lonely widower, with Bill Nighy in a star turn. This is a heart-warming story, with its funny and sad moments – well-told and excellently acted. A beautifully crafted gem of a film.

I'm drawn to Bill Nighy's work. Leading lady is superb. You won't be disappointed

I really enjoyed this movie. Well worth watching…made me want to have a book shop of my very own even more than I already did

This is one of those rare gems that brings together extraordinary talent at all levels and delivers subtle, brilliant character depth and colour – a rare insight into the frailty of the human condition on the one hand and dignified courage on the other. Mark

So many characters acting well
