Yesterday I went to see the movie of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. I'd read the book, and loved it, but that was quite a few years ago. 
The movie was sort of a preview, a special deal offered by my movie club, and since it was on in a cinema in the city, over the road from where I had an appointment with my dentist an hour later, I decided to take the morning off and watch it.
I really enjoyed it. I came out of the cinema with a smile on my face, along with a bunch of other people also smiling. It hit all the spots, good acting, a variety of fun characters to engage with, gorgeous scenery — really beautiful — lots of delightful book talk, some heart-racing drama, a few teary moments, and a happy ending.
It had been quite a few years since I'd read the book, and after the movie was over I was trying to think of what they'd changed. It's inevitable that they'd have to change the story somewhat — you can't fit the richness and layering of a novel into a two hour movie. So while I was waiting for the tram (trolley car) I pulled out my trusty kindle, found my e-copy of the book and started rereading it.
For those who haven't read the book, it's written as a series of letters, to and from the heroine of the story, writer Juliet Ashton. WW2 is over and people in London are just starting to get used to peacetime. Juliet having had one successful novel behind her, is casting around for a story idea.
Her interest is sparked when she receives a letter from a man on the island of Guernsey (one of the Channel Islands, belonging to Britain, but closer to France.) He'd found her address in a second-hand book, and had written to ask for the address of a good bookshop in London. And that's where it all starts — his letter intrigues her, she writes back and . . . 
Both the book and the movie are all about stories within stories, though the movie is simplified a bit, or maybe streamlined is a better word. It's a love story, and a slice of history, but it's also a story of how books and social contact can help people endure privation and oppression — Guernsey was occupied by the Nazis during the war— as well as an exploration of the nature of heroism. And what is important in life.
My advice, if you haven't read the book, or it's a long time since you read it (like me) is don't read it before you go to see the movie. Just sit back and let the gorgeousness of the movie wash over you. If you reread the book before you watch it, you'll be distracted by thoughts like "But it didn't happen like that in the book" and "No, that's wrong."
But it's inevitable that a movie that's an adaptation from a novel is bound to be different. So much of a novel simply cannot be shown in a two hour movie. It's like the difference between the various movie versions of Pride and Prejudice, and the TV series with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth — a series being the only way one could do any justice to the novel.
But the movie is lovely, and well worth seeing. There is a fairy-tale quality about it enhanced by the glorious scenery, the intimacy of the filming and the excellent acting. A group of ladies were talking about all the actors they recognized — several from Downton Abbey and other beloved TV series — and it seemed to add to their enjoyment.
The location scenery is stunning, and I was surprised to learn later that the movie wasn't filmed on Guernsey — which understandably upset a few people. But the film-makers explained that Guernsey had changed so much since the war that it was no longer possible to make it look like is had in the 1940's. It still hasn't stopped me wanting to go to Guernsey one day and see it for myself. And I really do believe that it the locations they chose (in Devon and Cornwall) did the story justice —and conjured up the 1940's Guernsey of my imagination.
I read several reviews of the movie (after I'd seen it) a couple of whom called it "bland" or "predictable fluff". To them I say Pooh! and Bah Humbug! and Poppycock! One sneered at the idea of a pig farmer being interested in literature — why not, I ask? Sheer snobbishness, as well as some knee-jerk anti-romance dismissal. Yes, it's a romance, but that's not all it is.
This review from the Telegraph is much more like it in my opinion: Mike Newell’s adaptation of Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows’s epistolary novel is a film you don’t spend time with so much as spend time in: every location in this irresistible romantic mystery is like a little mini-break for the soul, every costume and piece of set-dressing nibble-ably gorgeous, and every character a pleasure to keep company with, even the rotters.
Exactly. (Click on the link above to read the full review)
Here's the official movie trailer.
So, if you like gorgeous scenery, engaging characters and an uplifting story, I highly recommend you see The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society at your earliest opportunity. And then, if you haven't read it already — read the book.

Thanks Anne. I’ve got the audiobook ready to go, but I’m going seek an opportunity to get to a cinema FIRST! Bit tricky so far from everything, but I have a trip planned at the end of the month, so just might give myself a treat. I totally agree with your sentiments, and trust your judgment, so thanks for that in depth review. It’s a gorgeous concept and I can’t wait to dive in. Thanks. Jay xxx

It’s been years since I read the book, but I promptly gave it away to everyone for Christmas and birthday gifts for a year or so after. I love that book but decided not to reread it before the film, mainly for the reasons you outline, Anne. I didn’t want to sit there angsting it wasn’t happening exactly as in the book, etc. I saw the movie with two friends on Wednesday, and we all danced from that theatre with smiles and sighs. Loved it, what a special treat, with excellent acting and beautiful scenery. Done very well.

Hi Anne, I enjoyed reading your review of The Guernsey Literary and potato Peel Pie Society movie. As you liked the book and the movie, you may be interested to read The Guernsey Novels by the author Anne Allen. She has written six fantastic novels set in Guernsey during WWII and contemporary times.

Anne, what a great review of what looks like a great movie. Is it Australian-made? I really hope we get it here. I enjoyed the book very much and would love to see it adapted for the screen.

I loved the book when it first came out and recommended it to many friends. A friend and I visited Guernsey on a “around the British Isles cruise we took and knowing a bit about it’s history made our day there more interesting. I will look forward to the movie.

I love this book and re-read it occasionally. I think it’s been long enough I can see the movie with an open mind. The preview does get me excited for it, even if it’s not exactly how I picture the characters in my head.

I had read the book a few years ago and was eagerl to see the film. My husband came with me not sure what to expect. We both loved it and my husband gave it five stars. Now to re read the book.

Jay, I’ve had friends who lived up your way and when they hit the city it was a perfect feast of the senses — food, music, movies, the lot. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the movie. Thanks for joining in the word wenches’ conversation.

Malvina, I did exactly the same — it’s one of those books, destined to be a classic. I’m so glad I didn’t reread it beforehand — it leaves you free to enjoy the movie. Wasn’t it wonderful? So lovely that you’ve seen it — so few have, yet, but I’m waiting for more to join in. I’ve already spoken to my little film/writers group about organizing a date to go. I’m very happy to see it again.

Anna-Lisa, guess what? I bought the first of that series last night. In preparation for this blog, I did a bit of research and came across the name and thought I’d have a look. It has lots of amazon reviews, which is usually a sign of a good book, so I bought book 1. *g*

Keira, no, it’s a British film — with half the cast (slight exaggeration) of Downton Abbey and other great British TV series. The heroine is played by Lily James (Downton) and the hero is Michiel Huisman (pronounced Mikeel Housman) from Game of Thrones.

Beverley, what a wonderful experience. Even though the movie wasn’t filmed on Guernsey (for reasons I explained), it made me more determined to visit Guernsey. I’ve always wanted to visit the Channel Islands.

Misti, some of the characters weren’t quite as I’d envisaged them either, particularly Isola, but she was played by Katherine Parkinson who I think is wonderful, and she made the movie character Isola all her own and I loved her.
Katherine Parkinson has been in lots of TV productions , but I first fell for her when she was the original receptionist for Doc Martin, and also when she played Jen in The IT Crowd. In this movie she played a slightly hippy-ish Isola who was funny and vulnerable and touching.

Rosemary I’m so glad you and your husband enjoyed it. A couple of those (wrong) reviewers implied that the movie was of a sort that only women could enjoy (and I could *hear* the sneer between the lines!) but there were a number of men in the audience I was part of and they seemed to enjoy it just as much. At the very end (I always wait for the credits to finish before moving) I was leaving and there was a gentleman sitting up the back on his own, and he looked at me and smiled in a silent “wasn’t that wonderful” exchange that strangers sometimes do.

Hi Ann, I loved the book and will definitely go and see the movie now. Usually I opt to either see movie or read book so I don’t suffer any conflicting ‘buts’. However, like you, I read the book so long ago I am sure it won’t affect my enjoyment of movie now.

Laura, that’s exactly how it was with me. And so after loving the movie, I reread the book and enjoyed it all over again, without those conflicting ‘buts.’ Watch it — I think you’ll love it.

I didn’t know they’d made that lovely book into a movie so was thrilled to read that they had. It was one of those rare books that I, my mother and my sister all loved and one I’d recommended to both of them. Having just spent a week in Devon and Cornwall I can imagine the scenery and it would be perfect for what I imagine the film setting would look like. I’d love to visit Guernsey one day too.

Having just spent a week in Devon and Cornwall I can imagine the scenery and it would be perfect for what I imagine the film setting would look like. I’d love to visit Guernsey one day too.

I loved the book years ago. It left me with strong feelings – mostly joy.
I look forward to seeing the movie and I thank you for the review. I will not reread the book until after I have enjoyed the film.

Oh Liz, I loved 84 Charing Cross Road, and before that, when I was a teen I read my mother’s copy of Daddy Long Legs and loved that, too. I think with a book written in letters you get a real sense of the personalties of the writers. Certainly in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society the various characters writing the letters come beautifully to life.
I might have to reread 84 Charing Cross Road and Daddy Long Legs.

Shelagh, the film has only just been released. I think you and your mother and sister will love it, and can I suggest I think your husband would too.

Annette, that’s pretty much how I felt when I left the cinema. And then I had a good dose of joy all over again when I reread the book. So many little things I’d forgotten.

I usually end up watching movies at home, either on DVD or television, but I’ll put this one on my list. World War II era sure seems to be popular right now, in fact the 20th century in general.
And as an aside, I sure love that fitted coat that the girl with the suitcase is carrying up top!

I’ve tried all kinds of things to find out when this movie would be released in all theaters (not just a few in LA or NYC) in the US. No go. Anyone know? My friends and I can’t wait to see this, especially after reading this!

The last movie I saw and thoroughly enjoyed was the British comedy “Finding Your Feet”. It was so good, I am going to buy the DVD when it comes out, so I can sit and watch it again, and…maybe again.

It’s lovely, isn’t it? When I was a teen, I used to wear a beautiful old black coat that I found at a charity store — it was from the 1940’s. I loved that coat, but one day when I wasn’t paying attention my mum threw it out. She *hated* my preference for old-fashioned clothes.

Lynda, someone on FB said they thought it wasn’t going to be released as a movie in the USA — that it would go straight to netflicks. I think if that’s true, it would be a terrible shame. The beauty of it alone cries out for a big screen. But there’s no gunfights or car chases, so maybe that’s what the movie people thing you all want. I don’t know. I hope I’m wrong.

I’m not typically a theater goer/movie watcher; however, I read and enjoyed this book years ago. I may have to watch this movie.
My sister took me to see Three Billboards Outside …. in January, so that is the last movie I’ve seen in a theater (or at all). It was a good movie but far too violent for my taste.

Kareni, I’m normally not a big movie-goer either, but this year I got together with a small group of writers and we go to movies together and talk about them afterwards. I’ve seen more movies in the last few months than I did in the last two years, and I have to say I’m loving it.
I also saw Three Billboards, and feel much the same as you. I didn’t like the violence, but also I was really disturbed how in the world of the movie everyone took it for granted. That policeman wasn’t even punished for the “window incident” even though it happened in the main street and in front of his chief. He was stood down, but not charged. I hated that. And the end, where they were heading off to commit . . . ?? Wrong on so many counts, IMO.

I’m not much of a cinema goer but I’m off to see this tomorrow. I can’t wait!! I only discovered this book recently and read it as a ‘buddy read’ on GoodReads. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I know the movie won’t be the same but I’m going in with an open mind. The last film I saw was The Darkest Hour as I’m a fan of Churchill. Loved it and thought Gary Oldman nailed it.

I’m in total agreement with you, Anne, as regards Three Billboards; it was disquieting to say the least.
Glad to hear that you’re enjoying the movie viewing jaunts with your fellow writers; it sounds like a movie version of my book group.

The Darkest Hour was one of the first films I saw with my little writers’ film group, and I really enjoyed it, and agree with you about Gary Oldman. I did a bit of research afterwards, because there were a few things we had doubts about — in one incident my friend Carol and I turned to each other, she whispered “do you think that’s true?” and we both shook our heads. LOL So I wanted to check which bits were fact and which were story-telling — and we were right. But we agreed the story-telling bits might not have been strictly true, but they worked in the story.

Read the book some years ago and hope to see the film, if it comes to our community cinema, which i hope it does. Will take your advice and not re-read before I see it. Thanks for the review.

I loved this book and just recently re read it. I live in the US and didn’t know a movie was made of this wonderful book. I loved it so much, I sent an email to Annie Barrows complimenting her on finishing the book for her aunt. She wrote me a reply and now I send compliments to authors often knowing they welcome them!!!

Seen the film of Daddy Long Legs but don’t know that I thought about it being based on a book. Almost invariably enjoy the book more, although both book and film of 84 Charing Cross Road excellent.

Oh, what in indictment of American movie-goers that this movie may not even be released in American theaters! There are so few good movies that are not aimed at 14 year old idiots! And most of them are not made in the US. We ought to be ashamed of the special-effects trash we are putting out for our children and those of the world.
