About this product

Product Information

Originally broadcast on HBO, THE GIRL IN THE CAFE is a thought-provoking drama from British director David Yates (THE WAY WE LIVE NOW). Yates slices his narrative into two parts; the first involves a lengthy courtship between primary characters Lawrence (Bill Nighy) and Gina (Kelly MacDonald). Meeting by chance in a cafe, the two share a common bond, although Lawrence's natural reticence makes it hard for Gina to read him. The second half of the film sees the couple travelling to Reykjavik in Iceland, where high-ranking politician Lawrence is due to work at the G8 summit. But Gina has a few surprises in store for both Lawrence and the gathering of politicians, leading to an eye-opening second half of the movie. Beautifully shot, THE GIRL IN THE CAFE is a politically-charged romance movie with remarkable performances from Nighy and MacDonald.

  • Must see!

    I absolutely LOVE this movie! I think it should be required viewing! It’s a quirky little British film with the wonderful Bill Nighy and Kelly MacDonald. As with so many British films, it’s subtle and understated; it’s also thought-provoking and heart-warming. Watch it… you’ll thank me! Note: I’ve had a run of bad luck lately with NEW dvds not working. Happy to say, this one worked just fine! 🙂

  • A chance encounter changes history.

    This TV movie might be slow and boring to some, I found it engaging. It's the old story about an unpretentious working class girl with a troubled past speaking truth to power to compromised high ranking politicians. There's an element of a May-December romance when the young lady draws out her older man's true feelings then gives him the backbone to stand up to his superiors. All seems to be for naught when the young lady is sent packing and the newly emboldened public servant is discharged for his insolence. There is a happy ending when the vanquished are vindicated however we're left wondering if the budding romance can be salvaged.

  • Girl in the Cafe sounded anonymous enough. The "establishment" becomes a character. Great setting.

    Bill Nighy isn't ready to speak truth to power, but a little love goes a long way. The film touches and inspires us to continue our fight for what is right, decent, and necessary right now. Two finely developed characters to treasure.

  • quirky w/ a message.

    Have watched several times. The first time blew me away. It's quirky w/ a message. Bill Nighy is always great. The characters are unexpected.
