Day 26 of Best Films of the 2010s: The Bookshop (2017)


A quiet little British drama, directed by Isabel Coixet (My Life Without Me) about a 1950s widow (Emily Mortimer), who opens a bookshop in a seaside village, and faces a lot of unnecessary pushback by residents who are resistant to change. I adored this little film, and especially loved her pen-pal friendship with the town recluse (Bill Nighy), a solitary old man who adores Ray Bradbury novels and specifically requests them from the bookshop.
