THE BOOKSHOP trailer

[@yootoob2193]

The trailer makes this look like it's going to be a feel-good period piece where the meanies grow a golden heart in the end. It's a much more substantial story and the film epitomizes CONFIDENT directing and dedicated performances. Splendid cast delivers in spades. i saw this two hours ago and I'm still in a mood. Astonishing storytelling, now I want to read the book.

[@lizzy-wx4rx]

I hope they didn't change the ending

[@adoculos4521]

Oh dear. The screenplay was abysmal!

[@l.a.3479]

To me, the movie was depressing. However, the casting and acting was top-level.

[@peterschatz2795]

You should definitely read the book! It’s excellent.

[@chasidahL]

The beach scene with Emily & Bill is, quite simply, one of the most beautiful, tender romantic scenes I've ever seen on screen. So underplayed & yet so profound. The memory will always stay with me.....

[@Scrappy527]

Such a poignant, profound moment for both of them ... loved the tenderness in the way he kisses her hand and she rests her head against his.

[@chasidahL]

@@Scrappy527 - yes, it is just so beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes....

[@neapealingonsmet]

I wasn't breathing during that whole scene. The movie was fine, but that scene was breathtaking.

[@chasidahL]

[@l.a.3479]

[@dashjeffreys6998]

How nice, a well acted and intelligent movie. Why can't we have more like this!??

[@fazeelamollick1777]

Yes, why can't we?

[@Alittlebithungryartist]

Because they cater for the brainless morons in society and they don't watch films where you have to use your brain xx

[@ViscountVile]

Folks, I respectfully have to suggest getting out more. My local community cinema shows at least 10 intelligent films, involving brain engagement, every month! I appreciate that not everyone can visit such a cinema, but there are significantly more films being made now for discerning (and older) audiences than 10, 20 or 30 years ago.

[@papirotraducoes]

And you can also find such movies online, even on Netflix, in case you just want to stay home by yourself or with your loved one(s).

[@lanabanana68]

they're out there,just steer clear of Hollywood movies :)

[@lindawatkin9667]

The movie is simply lovely.A scene between Bill Nighy and Emily Mortimer is under played and delightful.

[@l.a.3479]

To me, it wasn't "lovely," it was depressing. Most of the people in the community were unsupportive of her bookstore, and many were downright nasty to her. The performances of the actors, however, were great.

[@bill2953]

Great to see Emily Mortimer in another fantastic role. She was brilliant in The Newsroom with Jeff Daniels..

[@ralphraffles1394]

Two of my favourite actors, working together, lovely.

[@Alittlebithungryartist]

At last a decent film with substance. Saw the The Guernsey potato peel pie society film it was fantastic.

[@lanabanana68]

thanks Kate,i was wondering about whether i should see that :)

[@ViscountVile]

It's fine as long as you don't see it hoping to see Guernsey locations, as sadly not a single scene was filmed there!

[@deborahsullivan9765]

I loved him in About Time.

[@ViscountVile]

Deb Terry It looks appealing, but I thought it's very much the sort of role we're used to seeing him in, after 'Their Finest', etc. Nothing wrong with that, though, and perhaps you've seen him in very different roles.

[@lanabanana68]

[@stressedoutofexistence663]

I really liked it! At first I thought it was going to be an insipid film at how great it is to be quirky, bookish and innately British. Wrong. It's a story about the lengths of people's odiousness and manipulation to drag you down on your feet and isolate you till you can no longer defend yourself. This trailer itself is very misleading!

[@alanadevlin4939]

Can anyone tell me what everyone's problem with the main character is? After watching the film I couldn't figure it out. It doesn't seem it's the book shop that they have a problem with so much as the woman herself

[@tamilarasana4212]

Its all about the ego of a Lady violet who wants to make it as a central arts instead of bookshop...

[@l.a.3479]

JMO: I agree. Most of the community's rich and powerful don't like her--she's an outsider who stands up for herself and won't be bullied by them. When Lady Violet, who's used to getting her way, first meets the main character, she suggests a different property for the bookstore, but is declined. She cares more about having the main character's property than about anything or anyone else.

[@janebrown1706]

I hope the powers the old money had, have finished. That's what this is about, the old stuffy UK that persisted from old bygone days thru to the 1950s at least

[@walkingstick6655]

Oh, Bill Nighy. They say this about Gene Hackman, that he's an actor who, no matter how sketchy the movie may be, never puts out any less than quality acting. Not that this movie is bad in any way, but Nighy is one of those actors who never puts out even a mildly disappointing bit of acting.

[@writerforlifeify]

Are you that literal-minded, Mr White? For me, the bookshop itself is inconsequential. What does matter in this story, is the fact that she harbors in her heart a DREAM; the film follows the trajectory of her faith in, and pursuit of, the fulfillment of said dream. The bookshop is a metaphor for ANY dream one may have and which others will, for fear-based reasons, try their best to crush. "You make me believe once more in things...." he says to her. When was the last time you met someone who re-kindled your belief in something you abandoned?

[@lanabanana68]

Waaay too much silly melodrama about a bookshop. The writer really couldn't come up with a better plot than a good, young, attractive woman wants to open a bookshop and an old, evil, bitter woman wants to shut it down? Good Lord. And it's not even very well written. "Where there's life, there's hope." "God, what a horrifying thought." Which no doubt will get a laugh, and was meant to get a laugh, but why? What's horrifying about "where there's hope, there's life"? Is life a bad thing? Is hope a bad thing? Is it funny just because Nighy plays a sour old man and he said something sour, even if it doesn't make any sense? Should we be bothered that Mortimer's line is irrelevant and that it could be replaced with any positive aphorism? How about... "It's always darkest before the storm." "God, what a horrifying thought." Or... "Success is falling down nine times and getting up ten." "God, what a horrifying thought." The rest of the trailer is the same: not an interesting line of dialog anywhere. Just characters saying perfunctory things that people should say in a silly melodrama about a bookshop.
