Its subversive undercurrent, embodied in fine performances by Emily Mortimer and Bill Nighy, is what makes it really interesting.

Rating: 1/5 --
Hang a CLOSED sign in the window: it's another film with a strong female character that's cushioned in the safety and comfort of the recent past.

Everything is low-key and emotionally restrained but the director crafts a brilliant and powerful film.

Charming and inconsequential, The Bookshop perfectly evokes the sensation of losing yourself in a good book.

One Room With A View
Ms. Coixet highlights the undertow of subtle savagery in her genteel material, giving its picturesque setting -- an English coastal village in 1959 -- a more sinister, cynical cast.
