Movie Reviews of Tipping the Velvet
Movie Review: Wonderful
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was amazing. I had not read the book but the story called my attention. I enjoyed watching the movie from the very beginning. I fell in love as Nan (Rachael Stirling) did and my heart broke as hers did. Diana Leatherby (Anna Chancellor) was amazing and controlling; still I loved it when Nan stood up to her. But I think the greatest moment for me was when Nan had to decide which love to choose. I won't spoil it but at the very end I felt all those emotions. I also have to say that I loved Flo (Jodhi May), and her innocence. The movie was well done. This movie had a little but everything for everyone, I think.Movie Review: Amazing, even with a voice over
Summary: 5 Stars
Usually I don't like voice overs, they are usually stupid timed badly and boring... but in tipping the velvet it is pulled off beautifully and just enhances the experience of this mind blowing tale of sex, gender bending, and victorian england.
A note on costuming...fabulous.
Movie Review: Tipping The Velvet - Five Stars!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
As a lesbian film genre fan and historian of sorts, I can say that out of all the films I've seen (nearly all), Tipping The Velvet has something for everybody, and is among the best of it's kind. The actors are amazing, beautiful, and talented, the BBC put in a tremendous amount of effort on this because it's an absolutely fabulous film visually, everything from the colors to the set and costume designs (if you care about those sorts of things), the story is incredibly tight and well written with all sorts of turns you never predict (good script = hard find), and this film brings you laughter and tears and everything in between. I was introduced to it by a friend who bought it for me, insisting that I MUST see this, and since then I have shared it with about 10 other people, all of whom loved it and they are all a pretty diverse crew, so that says a lot. This is a MUST SEE, check it out :)Movie Review: loads of fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
Yeah, okay, this movie is educational and empowering to us lesbians, and it's wonderful that Nan finds true love. But what I really fell in love with was Anna Chancellor as the domineering aristocrat Diana Lethaby. She was gorgeous and such a scene-stealer, I don't know why people haven't mentioned it in their reviews. Movie Review: A feast in story telling.......
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved this film!! I'm a lesbian and having been trying to find more movies that not only include lesbian characters, but give them depth and character beyond stereotypes and clichés. Tipping The Velvet more then met my hopes.
It is a beautifully filmed, directed and acted movie following Nan's character through different conflicts and excitements. From falling in love to dealing with struggling on her own to success, Nan has the strength and honesty to prevail and make her own path. Rachael Stirling is someone I've never seen before in a movie and was extremely impressed at how well she drew me into her portrayal of Nan. I enjoyed all the different characters and was spoiled with a cast of such talented actresses and actors, but Stirling was by far my favorite. I've watched the movie several times now and instead of becoming bored with it, I find new treasures to enjoy! I wish networks here in the States would take more risks and show quality mini-series like Tipping The Velvet.
