  1. MarĂ­a is beautiful in everything she does – I totally agree that she was unexpectedly stunning as a blonde in The Borgia… and any questionable costuming, she just seems to wear with pride and panache – somehow making it acceptable/forgivable in my humble opinion. I think my favourite of her roles (although smaller than a lot she’s played) is in The Limehouse Golem. She underplayed the character beautifully and did a wonderful, haughty sneer when necessary; and she didn’t half look fabulous in her trapeze artist costumes!
    I just noticed that in The Load (something I haven’t seen yet, but intend to) in the black gown, she seems to have a sewn in partlet (tut, tut, tut), rather dubious trimming and there is something about the sleeves that just looks slightly wrong and ‘costumey’ to me: even so she still looks gorgeous (neck up) and her hair is nice. :)

    1. Hmmm! I think I felt like since I’d gotten through the original canon of Disney princesses, I was done! Let me look at some of the newer ones and see if I can come up with something.

  2. I hadn’t known of her, until you reviewed The Liberator and I am now definitely a fan. I cannot wait to return to work and pick up my cancelled streaming services to watch her and finish Outlander Season 5, Peaky Blinders and the New Natalie Dormer’s Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.

  3. She is really beautiful. I’ve only seen two of her films–Cracks and The Limehouse Golem. Both movies were good but Cracks was better. I keep getting her role confused in The Limehouse Golem with the Jessica Brown Finlay’s character in Victor Frankenstein. They both played aerialists, and their costumes semmed similar to my non-expert eyes. Two films I’d like to see are The Liberator and Ali and Nino.
