Fingersmith (2005) short review

Kendra April 30, 2005

2005 Fingersmith

Another adaptation of a Sarah Waters novel, this miniseries really captures the novel quite well. Sally Hawkins does a great job portraying Sue, who has grown up with thieves in London and takes a position as lady’s maid to Maud Lilly in a scheme to steal Maud’s inheritance. But things get more complicated… Nice 1860s costumes, including both upper and lower class.
