Product Description

From Amazon.com

From Sarah Waters, author of Tipping the Velvet, comes this twisting and twisted Victorian-era thriller with an L-word charge. Sally Hawkins stars as Sue, an orphan who grows up among the reprobates of Lant Street to become an accomplished "fingersmith" (thief). Elaine Cassidy costars as Maud Lilly, an heiress who, as a young girl, was plucked from the madhouse and raised by her stern, bibliophile uncle (Charles Dance). He makes her wear gloves at all times so as not to smudge the precious tomes he makes her read every night. Enter Richard Rivers (Rupert Evans, the otherwise sterling cast's weakest link), an artist hired to give her painting lessons. But he has designs on Maude's fortune, and recruits Sue for an elaborate con. That's when the gloves really come off. Originally broadcast on the BBC, this riveting three-part tale of illicit passion and betaryal is by turns harrowing and quite erotic (the tasteful sex scenes manage to generate heat without baring a lot of skin). The literate script reveals its feminist leanings ("You are a man and might do everything," Maude tells Richard during their first meeting. "I am a woman and might do nothing."). The superb cast includes Academy Award-nominee Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake) as Mrs. Sucksby, a Fagin-esque character who mentored Sue, and has a few surprises for Maud, as well. --Donald Liebenson

4.0 out of 5 stars A damn good movie, May 3 2006
This review is from: Fingersmith (DVD)
I have read the novel, and I thought the mini-series was much more engaging than the book ever was. The characters were believable, the script was great, acting was good, and the women attractive (which come on, is one of the most important parts - well coupled with a good story.)

I highly recommend watching this, you will not be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, Aug 1 2007

This review is from: Fingersmith (DVD)
This probably the best lesbian themed movie i've ever seen... Even my straight mom loved it. Drama, suspense, love.... it's all there.

A complicated love story,, but it works wonders, The actresses are phenominal, and 100% believable.

Fingersmith draws you in to the world of these troubled women, and leaves you wanting more when the movie ends...
