Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Cortechba Overrated

Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Irishchatter 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 :)

Sybil Green 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.

Aristides-2 What the producers of "Fingersmith" should have done, after carefully reading and discussing among themselves the script for part one, was dump the idea of part two. Why? Because they had a clever black humor concept going for them that didn't need an 'explanation' and it worked so very, very well. Part 2, going miles beyond Dickens' multiple-use of the long arm of coincidence, travels deep into ridiculousness; Susan is really the heiress; Mrs. Sucksby revealed as the mother of Maude! Gee whiz, what creative inventiveness! And couldn't someone, a rogue policeman pointing a loaded pistol for instance, have been on the set, and prevented Imelda Staunton from chewing the scenery as the story unfolded? "Part Two of Fingersmith" can be added to the shelf of misconceived projects, joining "Godfather: Part III" and the four Rocky's that followed the original.

madcardinal "Fingersmith" is divided into two episodes, and it is truly a hit and miss film. While watching the first episode, I thought I was experiencing one of the finest films ever made - it developed like a Dickensian novella courageously and poetically weaving a tale of lesbian love. Until just before the end of the first episode, I was fully expecting to give "Fingersmith" my highest recommendation.The organic kernel of the movie - as presented in the summary on this web site - is superb and of the highest quality. The movie goes off the tracks, however, at the very end of the first episode and never really gets back on track after that. There are too many plot twists which stretch the viewer's capability for suspension of disbelief past the breaking point. The film becomes much too impressed with its own cleverness and the second episode just feels inauthentic and overly contrived. It's almost an insult to the viewer's intelligence and a betrayal of the time so well invested up to that point. It also robs the film of its crux and primary dilemma, namely, after wrestling with her powerful feelings of love, her past loyalties and moral and ethical considerations, what decision will Sue Trinder make regarding the plan to defraud Maud? There's no doubt about it, simpler would have been much much better in this case. Nine stars for the first episode. One star for the second episode. Five stars overall. This could have been so much better.
