Reviews

The Seattle Times -
Those who love books, picturesque English villages and getting lost in actors’ faces should be very happy

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

|
Village Voice -
Though nearly nothing happens in this movie besides a woman opening a shop and beginning a standoffish friendship with a reclusive man, I still found myself drawn in, just as I was drawn to Iain’s discreet disaster of a baked Alaska (please check it out if you haven’t seen this TGBBS episode); sometimes the quiet is enticing.

Movie Nation -
Message and metaphor are all and The Bookshop, with its terrific cast and lovely setting, barely overcomes that burden.

The Guardian -
It is a strange, subdued, rather miserable film, interestingly perceptive on conformism and philistinism as a way of life, and on the disconcerting wiles the inhabitants use in order to thwart Florence’s entirely reasonable plans.
