Editorial Reviews:
|
Smitten by music hall life, and by the beautiful male impersonator Kitty Butler (Keeley Hawes), Nan Astley (Rachael Stirling) leaves her family’s Whitstable oyster parlor and follows her heart to London. There she finds unimaginable joy—and misery—as she explores the secret side of fin de siècle life.
Based on the acclaimed novel by Sarah Waters and adapted by Andrew Davies (Bridget Jones’s Diary, Doctor Zhivago), this powerful BBC drama is both a frank depiction of lesbianism and a witty and moving account of a young woman who will win your heart while searching for her own. Also starring Anna Chancellor (Pride and Prejudice), Jodhi May (The Last of the Mohicans), Hugh Bonneville (Iris) and John Bowe (Poldark). "Provocative and uplifting" ––The Baltimore Sun. "Flat-out sublime" ––The Seattle Times.

Summary: More than what I've expected
Comment: Wow, I didn't really interested in this title at all because of the actresses (yea, I'm kinda one of those damn people who judging a movie because of its actors/actresses XD). But anyway, I did ordered the DVD. It was good tho, I love nearly every single thing of the movie (yeah, just nearly), I also love its music, I think it's good, well, why not?
The dildo things turned me off though, it's disgusting, that thing and those sick people in there. I'm so obsessed with Kitty right now, I'm gonna watch it again for her, lol.

Summary: One of the Best!
Comment: This is one of the best lesbian movies that I ever seen. The story, cast, scenery, clothing... everything is well done. It is filled with romance and adventure. As good as the book!

Summary: Girl love
Comment: A three part series from Sarah Waters novel, produced by BBC. Not as powerful as "Fingersmith", but still an interesting story. I must admit I am not a fan of musicals, so part 1 and 3 were more difficult for me to watch, because of all singing and dancing. Also, while "Fingersmith" lets us guessing about the nature of the relationship between the two girls, here, there is no mistake on what is going on between these girls. Very explicit storytelling, definitely not for young audiences. For audience who likes period pieces, this is an interesting presentation on lesbian love as it may have been a century ago.

Summary: Wow! Shocked!
Comment: I was captivated at the end - Kitty or her present lover...damn, I was like go Kitty, but then next second I'm like she slept with a man and broke your heart! I'm still happy with the ending though even though Kitty is sexy as hell and has that tom boy feature.
Lovely story even though it was a bit long. I loved every moment of it though and I was damn glad when Miss King stood up to her "owner". Just loved it, loved it, and loved it. I will definitely watch this movie again. I plan to pick up the book, but I couldn't help today to watch this film before it.
