MCT:September 19, 2008I enjoyed this film immensely. I do have a soft spot for epistolary novels so this was a perfect correlation.

MCT:January 12, 2008I just finished watching this, and I can honestly say, "wow!" Twenty years squished seamlessly into 1:40. Mundanities exposed to mean exactly what they should: everything. Words exposed as the carrier of more emotion than they're usually credited with. Beautiful nuances played between several American and British accents.

This movie is a little gem. Bancroft and Hopkins never meet in the film but their acting is tops and the story is so good. loved it!

MCT:August 20, 2007On of the late Ann Bancroft's best movie, and well suited for her. But then, she could pay anything, and do it superbly.

Great movie. Has there ever been a film made with Anthony Hopkins that hasn't been GREAT? Get out the kleenex...but it's a good cry. Chick Flick!

The power of books, of letters, of human connection... and all so intimately and lovingly presented. Only a tad stage-bound, but so is the story overall.

No action, no special effects, no Hollywood happy ending, just two people brought together by a love of books. One of my House Favorites.

This is one of the best Anthony Hopkins movies I've seen. I've seen it at least 15 times and still love it!!

Simple story executed beautifully thanks to Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins. If you're a book lover, you'll surely discover something of yourself in this film.

A very endearing story based on a real life pen-pal relationship turned into a book. Perfect movie for Anglophiles

A true story closely based on a collection of letters of Helene Hanff, this movie is a gem of the cinema. Just after WWII, Helene Hanff, a "poor scriptreader/writer" began to procure used books of English Literature from Marks & Co., a bookshop located at 84 Charing Cross Road in London. This film makes used book stores & love of old books into a type of romantic. In this era of instant messaging, emails, telephones, etc. it is wonderful to think that people can actually develop relationships over the course of years through snell mail.

Lovely and bittersweet - I love romance and this is less romance and more of a pen pal friendship spanning space and time.

Enjoyable and moving film. Both Bancroft and Hopkins are great. Script is very endearing and charming yet funny.
