Featured review
The three main stars put in stellar performances, Emily Mortimer in particular shows her true acting colours in this aged tale about class and corruption.
I love the story, the direction, the acting, and the way it shows at the end that despite all the corruption and badness in humans, one can touch another one in their life for a short period of time, and have a lasting positive impact on them for the rest of their lives.
Beautifully done and my only regret is that I can't see it again for the first time.

- GoofsInside 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.
