  1. That movie is kind of like watching a train wreck in slow motion. It’s almost painful to see her make the wrong decision at every point. I wasn’t too impressed with Dan Akroyd- just didn’t ring quite right.

    1. Agreed about the train wreck. In the book, it’s clear that the society in which she lives hems in her choices, and so it’s tragic. In the movie, it’s not so clear and so it’s kind of stupid.

  2. Going by the title I thought this was going to be a fun film about Victorian prostitutes. I was not prepared for the emotional journey!!!!!!
    The costumes were gorgeous though…
