So disappointed by the movie. Whoever wrote the screenplay never read he books. Not one character matches those described in the books. The dialog were painful to hear, which is a shame because the actors (although miscast for the parts) are very talented people. Nathaniel Parker, for example, is an excellent actor. He was not, however, the right choice for the part. He was unable to portray Inspector Gamache's sense of humor, brilliant deductive skills, and kindness. Kate Hewlett was lovely but did not resemble Clara Morrow at all. Clara Morrow is over 45, with graying dark hair (which sometimes looks like it was styled by Einstein) and has a "middle-age" spread. If another movie is attempted, I hope that the screenwriter(s) will read the books and choose more appropriate actors of the correct sizes, ages, and coloring, and include more internal and external scenes that are presented in the books. I also hope that Ms. Penny does not allow another movie of her books without being able to choose the actors who will portray her lovely characters.
