I think it being four stars, having one or two good people and the title was what persuaded me to try this film. Basically good-hearted Harbour North (Adrian Rawlins) has spent years trying to look after his motherless, recently now fatherless, and suicidal young brother Wilbur (Jamie Sives). They are inseparable and inherit their father's second-hand bookshop, and one day cleaning lady Alice (Shirley Henderson) with her daughter Mary (Lisa McKinlay) enters the shop and their lives. She helps them by selling the books patients have left behind as the hospital she works at. Harbour falls in love with Alice, and Wilbur with Mary, and soon enough all four of them are entwined, Wilbur has found a good reason to keep living, while Harbour is coming to terms with the fact he is slowly dying of an incurable condition. Also starring Casino Royale's Mads Mikkelsen as Dr. Horst, Julia Davis as Moira and Susan Vidler as Sophie. Apparently this was meant to be a black comedy, well it was certainly quite dark viewing, but I didn't find myself laughing a lot, but I guess it is worth seeing, at least once. Good!
