The Bookshop
Description
Florence Green, 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. But this mini social revolution soon brings her fierce enemies: she invites the hostility of the town's less prosperous shopkeepers and also crosses Mrs. Gamart, Harborough's vengeful, embittered alpha female who is a wannabe doyenne of the local arts scene.

It doesn't help that the film is pulverised by wall-to-wall narration.

The Catalan director [Isabel Coixet] tells the story, which takes place at the end of the '50s, without bombast, and with a sober, but romantic style. [Full review in Spanish]

The Bookshop ends up as a fine advertisement for its namesake. Buy the book and stay home.

Lovers of books and admirers of determination will embrace this enchanting film. I hope you will enjoy it, too.

A fine, sensitive leading turn from Emily Mortimer helps shore up these quiet, lightly dust-covered proceedings, but can't quite put "The Bookshop" in the black.
April 16, 2018
An elegant story, precise and overcoming, though at times also a bit obvious. [Full Review in Spanish]
