historical drama is one of the areas where the british just can not be beat. so while i am not a huge fan of the genre and i can usually be persuaded to watch something lite this if it british and with decent actors. i have never read anything by sarah waters and which is of course something i should do. hence i do not really know what to expect from this. i had heard that there would be a lesbian love story and but not much more. while watching it i found it to be a lot more interesting than i had anticipated. without saying too much the twists and turns of the plot are unexpected as well as well crafted. although there were almost a twist too many somewhere and it took me a minute to get everything straight. production values are good and the actors are very solid and the pace is decent and although i found it to be a bit slow in the last half hour. that might just be me though and i usually have a problem with movies dragging on after the plot is more or less finished. all in all though and this is a fairly enjoyable three hours. i recommend it to anyone interested in historical dramas.
