Watched The Bookshop (2017) from Greenwich Entertainment
Directed by Isabel Coixet. With Emily Mortimer, Bill Nighy, Hunter Tremayne, Honor Kneafsey. England 1959. In a small East Anglian town, Florence Green decides, against polite but ruthless local opposition, to open a bookshop.
Interesting art house sort of film. An abrupt and predictable ending. Great acting, modest plot. Not sure I’d want to watch this again.

An interesting build up to manage to execute a third act in just three minutes.

Rating: ★★★½

Movie poster for The Bookshop

Watched "Tiger King" Not Your Average Joe from Netflix
Directed by Rebecca Chaiklin, Eric Goode. With Bhagavan Antle, Carole Baskin, Howard Baskin, Susan Bass. Met Joe Exotic, the gun-toting operator of an Oklahoma big cat park. He's been accused of hiring someone to kill his chief rival Carole Baskin.
I’ve met all too many Joes. He may seem like a caricature to many, but there are a lot of him out there. The entirety of this seems to me like a replaying of the right/left political battle, but translated immediately into culture and with a more extreme bent. Even the promo poster properly puts Joe Exotic on the right and Carole Baskin on the left.
