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.

I don't know which point was poked, and when the film ended, I burst into tears. It is not so skillful, and it does not show off all the things that may be regarded as gimmicks, such as the background of the times, such as the love history of the characters, it is very calm, just like us who are plunged into the book, and can't hear the wind outside the book. As a movie, I think it is not good enough, but as a bridge connecting book lovers and movie fans, it is timely, stable and indispensable.

The execution is relatively smooth. The theme of the bookstore is more inclined to create an atmosphere of an ideal humanistic life. It is still not enough to drop the book bag. The introduction of love in the middle is slightly tacky, but fortunately, it ends with love and ceremonies. The little girl's burning bookstore is really good. It burns the dignity of the self-righteous bourgeoisie, and the dream is unquenchable and even passed down from generation to generation.

Narrator: [Voice over] Mr. Brundish lived alone in the oldest house in Hardborough. He didn't particularly like his own company, but after long years of battle, he had reached a lasting truce with himself. He adored books with the same passion with which he detested his fellow men.
