I watched another British movie around the same time as this, Urban Hymn, and it also had a very sad ending with the death of a character who I liked the most.) The Casual Vacancy Movie Review It’s a happier ending, so the Internet tells me, but this is not a happy ending. Spoiler alert (although it’s a bit too late for that warning, I guess), the ending of the movie is different from the book itself. The Casual Vacancy is based on the novel with the same name by JK Rowling (which I didn’t read), who also wrote Harry Potter (which, I mentioned before, also didn’t read). Well, two hours really watching and the first just sort of listening. I guess that’s the reaction you want from a mini series, one that I just invested three hours of my life watching. It’s a knife in my heart, stabbing my chest, and I don’t understand why I couldn’t reach through the screen, pluck her from the town of Pagford, and let her live in our guest bedroom forever. The character who I liked very much, who I was rooting for during the second two hours, died. Three hours I’ve spent watching this and I’ve held my breath through the last twenty minutes, hoping the inevitable wouldn’t happen. And yet somehow, that’s okay.Īnd these short sentences? They have to be okay too. The Casual Vacancy is a mini-series based on a book I never read by an author who I’ve never read.
