The lives of two young women collide in Victorian England when a trio of 'fingersmiths' (pick-pockets) concoct an elaborate scam to defraud a young heiress of her inheritance.

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Beautiful, moving film.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
During the beginning, I thought it was so unfair to sent young Mrs Lilly to her horrible creepy uncle.That scene reminded me of Jane Eyre when she was send to Lowood School as a young girl.In those days you were either sent to a close family member or a boarding school which was quite tough and extremely sad that you had no parents to rely on! I have to admit Charles Dance really did a good job on acting as a tough uncle haha!As we move on, we are introduced to Fingersmith Sue and not-a- fiancée-material type Gentlemen Rivers. I think it was so cruel that he made a bet with Sue to give her lots of money if he marries Maud Lilly and send her off to a mental asylum like her mother. I mean like come on, the girl went through hell of not having parents by her side like! No sympathy whatsoever from that man!Thankfully Sue didn't let that happen by loving Mrs Lilly even more and I found that very touching! I honestly think that the pair of them should've got married as they were such an adorable couple :)
they usually short but delicate,just like this Fingersmith.2 different women fall in love with secret plans inside each other,they want save themselves from the other but...just like lose the control,they sleep together,kiss,have sex,then try to deny all those 'sin', they hurt,kill,shut out,love seems transform into hate,expect their cares, never change.this is happy ending story,finally 2 girls know the truth,forgive and be together again. Mode is always the more-love one,she knew the plan from beginning but still love,love that not beautiful girl,that could hurt her girl,she's deep love more than i thought,or maybe love is a no-reason thing i just can't pretty understand.(btw,the little Mode is quite beautiful,why doesn't have other typical works) i always have interest in lesbian shows,this the first costume lesbian drama i said,lucky for me,it's better than great,i feel so much.
I watched this movie recently and fell in love with it. I loved the storyline and the actors. It has a little of everything. I was completely taken by the unfolding of the story. It has so many surprises along the way. I highly recommend it. In fact, I loved it so much that I ran out and bought the book. I felt I had to read it in order to appreciate the art in the writing behind the movie. I also wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything that was in the book but kept out of the movie. I recommend people who love the movie to read the book because there is enough difference in the book, especially in the second episode, to want to read it. It has become my favorite movie. I am now a Sarah Waters and Elaine Cassidy fan!!
The chemistry between Sally Hawkins and Elaine Cassidy was incredible. They were thoroughly convincing and genuinely likable in their roles. Imelda Staunton played the conniving Mrs. Sucksby brilliantly. Despite the fact that she was a dastardly opportunist, she somehow managed to have you sympathizing with her in the end. Rupert Evans played the slime-ball gentleman with sheer charm and snark. He was a scene stealer. The story itself was very unique, as was the manner in which it was told. The Victorian England setting featuring two lesbian lead characters was intriguing and delightful. There were some fantastic and unexpected twists and turns that really kept the audience engaged in the story. A wonderful cast and excellent story made this film superb.
