Three episode "mini-series" produced by the BBC and set in England in the late 1800's. It follows young Nan as she comes to terms with her sexuality in restrictive Victorian society. Other than a few steamy moments it's obvious this one was destined for television. Tipping...( read more)
Two lovers, lesbians who are in love, who are not allowed to love the same sex in those days .This adaptation of Sarah Waters popular novel follows Nan Astley (Rachael Stirling) as she blossoms into womanhood and explores her sexuality, ostensibly forbidden in Victorian society.
A wonderful, supremely sexy, life-affirming lesbian love story. One of my favorites.
I thought this was a really sweet movie about girls in love in Victorian England.
Hard to believe it's a made-for-tv movie (but then it's the BBC). Faithful adaptation of a lesbian's life in early 20th century England. NOT depressing - an amazing journey and not nice in parts but an altogether intriguing story, well told. WELL WORTH WATCHING.
No recent reviews.
Wait until the American theatrical version comes out in 2009 from director Sophia Coppula.
