The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (2010) short review

Kendra April 29, 2010
The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister (2010)

A fascinating, if depressing, look at a real historical person: Anne Lister, an English landowner who was a lesbian, and who kept a coded diary on which the film is based. The acting is good. The costumes are well done, if relatively plain (as befits the era and the characters). It’s definitely worth watching, if for no other reason than to widen your knowledge of early LGBT history.
