Title: Cartoonish and Hokey
Product review: Please, please please do yourselves a favor and get Fingersmith instead. It is infinitely better than this, at times, laughable adaptation. TTV was ruined by a bad script and, I hate to say it, lead actress Rachael Stirling. Not only did she look so completely uncomfortable in her love scenes, her voice was incredibly irritating. I was not impressed with the choices she made as an actor, playing the role of Nan. There are some heterosexual actress who can really pull off playing a gay character. Rachael is not one of them. And she is in every scene. Every moment. The story is told completely through her eyes. It's a shame because this could have been so much better than it was.BTW, Sarah Waters is an amazing writer. Definitely check out her books, Fingersmith, Affinity, and The Night Watch.
