"Fingersmith" oh how I love thee

[mood| busy]

So thanks to aphrodite_mine I was able to watch the brilliant BBC miniseries "Fingersmith" and ... instant love!

( IMDB plot summary of 'Fingersmith' )

This show was just riveting. I spent four hours of my life (that I should have spent preparing for work tomorrow) watching, completely engrossed. Not only was I captivated by the luminous beauty of Elaine Cassidy (perhaps the only sexy lady to play a person named Maud) but the utter cutifulness of Maud and Sue's love made me *swoon*. Seriously, the chemistry between these two actresses was crazy delicious. And while I could go on and on about Elaine Cassidy's sinful hotness (she's also a really good actress. When Maud cried I got misty eyed), Sally Hawkins (a.k.a Sue, a.k.a. Alanis Morrissette 2.0) also turned in a stellar performance. In fact the whole cast was really good. Charles Dance played a magnificent bastard magnificently (which is pretty much what the man does), Rupert Evans turned in a wonderfully slimy, sleazy, and creepy performance as "The Gentleman", which I wasn't expecting after his adorkable acting in "Hellboy". And the movie had a really strong supporting cast.

Mostly, though, between Imagine Me and You, The Spashley on 'South of Nowhere', and Fingersmith it has been an absolutely delightful month for positive lesbian entertainment with really hot girls and happy endings (*glares at SoN, it better be happy dammit!*).

Anyways, totally two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
