The violence was a little much for me. But overall, this is a masterpiece. Beautifully adapted from Sarah Water's Fingersmith with twists and turns of it's own. Charming and seductive!

It's a film you need to be patient with. Once you get into it it's really good to watch. One of the best films I've seen this summer!

What a fantastic movie. Genuinely keeps you on the edge of your seat and is all around a fantastic thriller . Would probably watch again even tough I know what is going to happen. Takes a bit to build the plot, but never lets the intensity slip then. Amazing!
