Review

 

Adapted from the novel by Sarah Waters.

London, 1862, a young orphan named Susan Trinder (Sally Hawkins) grows up amongst the petty thieves known as Fingersmiths, under the guidance of Mrs Suckerby (Imelda Staunton). One evening, Richard 'The Gentleman' Rivers (Rupert Evans) pays them a visit. Rivers has an elaborate plan to defraud the wealthy heiress, Maud Lilly (Elaine Cassidy). Susan agrees to help for a cut of the money, and is quickly installed as Maud's maid. Upon arriving, she discovers that Maud is virtually a prisoner in her own house, as Uncle Christopher (Charles Dance) controls every detail of her life. As the plan begins to unfold, Susan finds herself developing an intimate relationship with the lady of the house...

This is one of the best love stories I have ever read and seen. The book is a must-read and the film brings the story to life. Thank you Sarah Waters for a great story and thanks to Elaine Cassidy and Sally Hawkins who play the characters in the movie so beautifully. Thumbs up!

This film was an absolute pleasure to watch. Any fan of the book would definitely enjoy the well followed storyline. Only very slight sequences are missed out from the film, but that is to be expected. The excellent storyline is driven along by extremely well suited actors, who play their roles superbly. The story of love and seduction certainly intrigues as it does entertain. A wonderful adaption.
