DVD Reviews of FingersmithDVD Review: Severely Edited Rip-Off! Summary: 1 StarsI've seen the original BBC mini-series, and this one-disc DVD is a severely edited rip-off, with no warning anywhere on the package that it is abridged. Now the package is opened, I can't return it. Very disappointed.
DVD Review: A bit confusing, but good Summary: 4 StarsThis is a nicely done and well acted story, with the lesbian bed scenes tastefully done with no nudity. I liked the movie but there was a point in part two where it was hard to follow who was given up by whom, and why, and it was never really clear how Maud came into the money she did. Worth watching though...
DVD Review: Review of Fingersmith Summary: 4 StarsThis movie is pretty darn spot on in comparison to the book, although the character of Maud comes across as a lot nicer in the movie. Great plot, great adaptation. Can highly recommend this movie!
DVD Review: great story Summary: 5 StarsAlthough, the topic is of a mature nature, it is handled by the director and actors as a revealing look into how two unlikely people found something neither expected to find in each other. The story has many twists, capturing one's attention. The underlying love affair is a consequence of the story line and therefore adds to the suspense.
DVD Review: Unexpected Surprise...An amazing Movie Summary: 5 StarsSuch a great movie. It is based on a woman who is raised by her uncle at a young age. He doesn't want her to get marry because he don't want to share her wealthy with her spouse. As she gets older, A man comes along and convinced a Fingersmith to work with the girl's uncle so she can convince her to get married with him...There a lot more..just watch teh movie..You will love it....
Description of FingersmithStudio: Acorn Media Release Date: 09/13/2005 Run time: 180 minutes Rating: Nr 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
