The Bookshop (2018)

A young widow decides to fulfill her dream of opening a bookshop and has found a long-vacant fixer-upper in a small English town that seems to be just the place for her endeavor. The one obstacle to her success is a doozy, though: the town's grand dame has other plans for the building.

Though quiet, this story was just my kind of thing. The politely sinister machinations were brutal -- not just because of their effect, but more due to the casualness in which they were enacted. Add in Bill Nighy as a reclusive avid reader and I'm sold.
