About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a Victorian-era coming-of-age love story with strong character focus and bold, adult themes; Not for you if you’re prudish or dislike explicit lesbian dramas like Fingersmith or Maurice.

Pros: vivid period setting; bold relationship focus; powerful performances | Cons: polarizing storytelling; explicit content; uneven pacing
