Fingersmith
Jan. 22nd, 2009 09:23 pmA fingersmith is a term for a petty thief. One like Sue Trinder who is brought into a plot to defraud the wealthy heiress Maud Lilly. But Sue and her accomplices didn't plan on her and Maud falling in love. After a string of badly acted lesbian movies its nice to have one where the majority of the acting doesn't put me in a coma. Maybe its all the Britishness or the Victorian setting...
Also, the Victorian psychiatric "sciences" are pretty fucked up...
