England, 1959. Free-spirited widow Florence Green (Emily Mortimer) risks everything to open a bookshop in a conservative East Anglian coastal town. While bringing about a surprising cultural awakening through works by Ray Bradbury and Vladimir Nabokov, she earns the polite but ruthless opposition of a local grand dame (Patricia Clarkson) and the support and affection of a reclusive book loving widower (Bill Nighy). As Florence's obstacles amass and bear suspicious signs of a local power struggle, she is forced to ask: is there a place for a bookshop in a town that may not want one? Based on Penelope Fitzgerald's acclaimed novel and directed by Isabel Coixet (Learning to Drive), The Bookshop is an elegant yet incisive rendering of personal resolve, tested in the battle for the soul of a community.
Leave your thoughts about The Bookshop.
| KDHX (St. Louis)Diane CarsonHelping with a needed shift to laidback receptivity are self-assured performances by Emily Mortimer as Florence Green, Patricia Clarkson as Violet Gamart and Bill Nighy as the reclusive Edmund Brundish. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldThe Bookshop is a gentle, quiet film in which not a whole lot happens... But it's beautifully evocative of the musty, inviting smell of a bookshop on a cool day, or of the nostalgic pleasure of old photographs |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerFor a movie that is about a collection of oddballs, it can sometimes feel rather generic. But at its core, the film is not a comedy at all. The eccentricities issue from real adversity. |
| Killer Movie ReviewsAndrea ChaseNighy has never given a more moving performance, and few others have. There is a melting tenderness in his longing to be at ease with others, and his inability to recover that lost art |
| The Public (Buffalo)M. FaustNo film that stars Emily Mortimer, Bill Nighy, and Patricia Clarkson could be counted as unwatchable, but this one has to go down as a dreary disappointment. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanIt's a strange film: small, sad (without being tragic) and yet sweet without being syrupy. |
| Independent (UK)Geoffrey MacnabAt times, it may seem off-key but there is an irony and originality here that you wouldn't find if a British director had been calling the shots. |
| The ListJames MottramRestrained, but never overly so, The Bookshop deserves plenty of custom. |
| ABC Radio BrisbaneMatthew ToomeyEmily Mortimer, Patricia Clarkson and Bill Nighy are all accomplished actors but their talents are not enough to save this confusing mess. |
| EscribiendoCineJuan Pablo RussoThe director appeals to classicism with constant conversations between her characters, subtle dialogues and stagings that affect the tranquility of this time and space of this place... [Full Review in Spanish] |
