"A quiet triumph in observing human nature"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

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.

Description

The Bookshop

Based on Penelope Fitzgerald's novel of the same name; ‘The Bookshop’ is set in 1959, Florence Green (Emily Mortimer), a free spirited widow, puts grief behind her and risks everything to open up a bookshop – the first such shop in the sleepy seaside town of Hardborough, England.

Critic Reviews:

  • " The excellent performances and the setting make up for the frustration that the story may provoke in the viewer " – Gisela Savdie
  • " The ever-winsome Emily Mortimer glows as a struggling widow who opens a bookstore in her insular coastal town. " – Andrea Gronvall
  • " Everything is low-key and emotionally restrained but the director crafts a brilliant and powerful film. " – Cate Marquis
