Good drama I must say!

I really did like watching this television movie because it was interesting to see what a real persons life was like back in the 19th century when being a lesbian was a shocking thing to be (rubbish). I have never heard of the real Anne Lister before, I had read about her life on Wikipedia and it was even more grimly in real life then the movie. Her life was full of people talking absolute nonsense about the way she was dressed and how she was harassed many times by dirty men who needed to mind their own business. It must've been scary for Anne even as a landowner! It was too bad during those times about who you should really love and not go for the one you don't love!

Anyways back to the film, Maxine Peake did such an amazing performance on Anne Lister. She really did make a great effort being in character and she would just blow you away!

I think this movie is definitely something you should give to your partner on Christmas or valentines day!
