Didn't like this much. Actors are directed stiltedly. There's no explanation of Patricia Clarkson's vile behaviour (nor of James Lance). There's no positive effect from the bookshop. The whole 'Lolita' thing doesn't go anywhere. Bill Nighy's character doesn't help anything move. Nighy, Emily Mortimer and Honor Kneafsey (Our Zoo, Sherlock, Crooked House) as the little girl are at least professional. The music is annoying.
Penelope Fitzgerald wrote the source novel.
