The film is meticulous in terms of props, costumes and setting, but the three actors who really support the soul of the film are Emily Mortimer, Bill Nighy and Patricia Clarkson, who follow the British theatrical tradition and rely on performance. The built-up tension triangle constitutes a solid framework for the establishment of the film. Director Cosette has a great ability to coordinate the visual style, and her historical background and long-term literary accumulation make it all shrouded in a beautiful classic aesthetic system. The tone of the film is dark and deep, and the picture quality is excellent. The large amount of out-of-focus processing of the picture makes the image more layered and more delicate. The film's reference to literature is very subtle. The way the two postwar modern literary classics, Fahrenheit 451 and Lolita, intervene in society, as well as the social acceptance of them, are also faithfully shown in the film. Compared with the ending of the original work, the warm ending of the film across time and space is more deliberately positive. This adaptation ostensibly caters to popular needs, but also weakens the power of the original work.

The sincerity, simplicity and introversion of a book lover are all at a glance. They are keen to dig into the complex inner world, and I am afraid they do not have much artifice when dealing with the outside world. The images are bookish, noble, elegant, delicate, and close to life, full of affection. Peeling back the layers of the book, it's about how hard it is for a person to stick to what they love in an age when simplicity and kindness are seen as stupid. Turning anger into inheritance at the end is more gentle and powerful. It is a spiritual victory. I feel that it is easy to go to violence for East Asian directors to shoot.

There are women and literature, but it's not about women's literature, it's the entrepreneurial story of a widow opening a bookstore in an unfriendly town. The first book she gave out was "Fahrenheit 451", and her first large-scale introduction was "Lolita". Books can know people, and people who read books are never alone. Such a British-style film was actually made by a Spanish director, no wonder it won the Goya Award...
