Tipping the Velvet (2004, DVD)

One of the best movies I have ever seen. By far the best lesbian themed movie ever made. Excellent performances by both Rachel Sterling and Keeley Hawes. The storyline is amazing and finale of movie has lead character having a full circle moment in her life. Where she once was a spectator in the audience, she is now the performer. Bravo! Makes me want to read the book!

Tastefully done!! Enjoyed the whole movie! At first I thought oh no a tasteless movie but when I sat down I was able to enjoy the whole movie and even asked friends to watch what some people go through!

It's an extraorinary piece of art, from any point of view you choose: a wonderful script; great acting; amazing directing and cinematography job, including some of the most stunning close ups and cross cuttings I've ever seen. The art, props and costumes are beautiful and detailed too, giving the movie its essential atmosphere. But the reason I loved it so much is its deep senstuality and eroticism. Sarah Waters, who wrote the novel that was the basis for this movie, is an expert in 19th century pornography, so she knows her field. Yet, it's far from being pornographic in any way - but erotic in a sense I've never seen before. Usually Lesbian sex and sensuality in movies seem unrealistic, but this time it feels so real, and so meaningful! It's not about or for men, it's about the charcters and their struggles. Totally captivating, highly recommanded!

This was a typical BBC artsey style moveie. I found it to be very much like the book until Chapter 3.

I bought it for my book club we had read the book and then had a movie party.

one of my favorite movies. it was a great price on ebay - I watched this movie recently and I knew I wanted to buy it. It is an amazing period drama of lesbian love - definitley one of my favorites, full of passion, heartache, and hope.

Besides being a very good movie I was also intrigued by the way it was photographed/filmed.Amazing scenes done by a true expert in getting the point across without words.<P>The author writes great historical novels and then they are expertly put to film.<P>The other Sarah Waters movie I would also recommend is "FingerSmith" which is also well filmed.It is a mystery of a sort with lots of twist and turns !
