Why watch this film?

Based on the eponymous book by British author Penelope Fitzgerald, the movie tells the story of a widow who decides to turn an abandoned, supposedly haunted house into a bookstore--which goes against the interests of a socialite living in the neighborhood. All this with the finesse of British cinema and with the Spanish touch of director Isabel Coixet ('The Secret Life of Words'). The cast features Emily Mortimer ('Ideal Home') and Bill Nighy (Golden Globe winner for 'Gideon's Daughter'). Awarded Best Film at the Goya, Spain's Oscars, in 2018.
