    • Trivia
      Residents of Painswick, Gloucestershire, which doubled as the fictional Pagford, were shocked and angered to discover that a shop selling sexy lingerie had just opened in their high street. Some wandered in to examine the goods while others complained about it at the local parish council meeting, not realizing that it was just a movie set.

    Not As Good As I Expected

    The acting is good and a with complex plot from Rowling but over-all not worth my time. None of the characters were really appealing or convincing (except for the dead ones) and I could not really engage with the story-line. Considering everything, i can't recommend this film. I stuck it out it the end but finally I was sorry I bothered.
