    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The narrator was the legendary Julie Christie. A half century earlier, Ms Christie had starred in the film Fahrenheit 451 (1966), adapted from the Ray Bradbury novel that was prominently featured in Bookshop.
    • Goofs
      Inside the bookshop, modern Penguin Clothbound Classics can be seen on the shelves. These editions were put out in the last 20 years, bound to look like older styles, but are, indeed, recent publications.
    • Quotes

      Edmund Brundish: Old age is not the same thing as historical interest. Otherwise you and I would be far more interesting than we are.

    A film for people who are not in a hurry
    A film for people who are not in a hurry. Great story. Tender performances (Emily Mortimer and Bill Nighy are wonderful). A story of stubborn determination, small village power plays and unexpected allies. Great supporting cast (Young Honor Kneafsey is a stand out). Definitely a movie for book lovers. I give this film an 8 (great) out of 10. {Drama}
