The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is a delightful little film that should particularly appeal to those fond of the quaint British rural setting.

A perfectly pleasant ball of period-era fluff which drifts attractively across the screen, but may not be landing in your memory for long.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 14, 2020

Many will discredit the movie, but there is something oddly charming about it. It's twee and idealistic, believing there's good in everything and everyone, and today we all need a bit of daydreaming.

London author Juliet Ashton is charmed from her cosy digs, her dashing American fiancé and her solicitous publisher by a chance correspondence with a Channel Islands farmer.

This is definitely 'comfort food' for fans of period dramas like me, but fortunately a nutritious one. As a writer, one of the biggest appeal for me is how the movie is practically a wonderful love letter to the written word.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2019

It's beautifully filmed by Mike Newell and will make you want to go to the Channel Islands. Plus the best kiss of 2018

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 9, 2019

There's a cosiness to the word count guzzling "Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society", in a lie-back-and-think-of-postwar-England kind of way. It doesn't entirely lack grit, but it is very successful in its emotional manipulations.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 28, 2018

A confused and largely unmemorable affair, leaving an aftertaste as unpleasant as a bite out of the titular pie.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 12, 2018

An adaptation with grace, ease and, everything is said, in the most obvious way imaginable. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 26, 2018

The film contains traces of those charming Ealing comedies and their sparkling dialogue. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 22, 2018

It's lovely, it's sweet, it's romantic. There's some mystery involved and a little bit of intrigue.

I would highly recommend The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society whilst curled up with a blanket and a cup of tea on a dull afternoon. It won't shock or challenge you, but it will give you a sense of easygoing warmth.

The fine cast let us visualize the events of the book as experiences of real persons.
