SunnyHello Nice effects though.
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Gutsycurene Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
lorimallory-44472 This show is new to me, but I'm already captivated by the cast, storyline and costumes. It is a breathe of fresh air!
trademarcdesigns Quick history lesson - in the 18th century, the age of consent for sexual relations was 12. And sex with a girl between the ages of 10 and 12, though illegal, was only a misdemeanor. To be truly accurate, these brothels would be stocked almost exclusively with children....of both sexes. The lovely Jessica Brown Findlay, despite all her charms, would, at nearly 30, be considered well over the hill. And the children who worked these brothels and street corners were beaten, abused, maimed, starved, killed - in short, there was nothing glamorous or appealing about this life. It is true that some women chose prostitution and prospered in it, but they were decidedly in the minority - the vast majority were exploited children who traded the only commodity they had for their survival. I have nothing against viewing the past through rose-colored glasses for the sake of entertainment, and as a sanitized, fanciful television drama set in an another era, this show is very entertaining. It's one of my favorite guilty pleasures. But please, let's not pretend this even comes close to a true depiction of the wretched lives of the poor creatures who really were forced into harlotry in the 18th century.
Phantom_Duck Amazing, the story, the casting, the writing, aesthetics were stunning. Acting direction, set decoration, cinematography, editing were breathtaking. The costumes are above Oscar caliber. Sheer perfection from every department.I sat down around 10 am on a Sunday morning to check out one episode, sounded interesting. I sat riveted to the screen for all eight episodes. Just could not stop. The story is full of interesting and dynamic characters, the multiple, interwoven plot lines are full of deliciously Machiavellian deception and intrigue.This is real adult, intelligent fare. If you read a review that is less than an eight, the author is a moron. Fabulous film, worth an eight-hour session.Best film I have seen since I can remember, and I found it by accident on a streaming site. Must see!
annlevtex I watched this show for Jessica Brown-Findlay, who is tremendous. I wasn't sure what to expect, based on the subject matter which seemed risky. But the risk paid off. A show about prostitution written and directed by women, told from the female POV, which depicts sex unflinchingly but without prurience and creates strong, complex protagonists who are in turns maddening, sympathetic, funny, vibrant, admirable and sometimes ruthless. It's a breath of fresh air, unlike any show I've seen before. The acting is off the charts especially from Morton, Manville and Findlay. And yes, I am biased toward JBF but I can say that even though I always liked her, I have never seen her as good as she is here. She absolutely inhabits her character (Charlotte) and brings her to life. Love the costumes, the sensibility, the balance of drama and humor and yes, the modern score. If you don't have Hulu, get it. This show rivals Handmaids Tale for quality. In fact I think it's better, if very different.
