Although not the lead character this time, Judi Dench once again revels in playing an old lady who can say what she likes, in this pleasant adaptation of Joanne Harris’ novel. It’s a neat little story about acceptance that doesn’t suffer from an occasionally episodic plot or a sometimes quaint depiction of French small-town life. (I was occasionally distracted spotting the sci-fi/fantasy credentials of the cast. But that’s just me.)
