| Customer Reviews: Good story but not entertaining enough December 1, 2008 Booklover (United States) *SPOILER ALERT* I'm a big Sarah Waters fan, but Affinity was the one book I could not finish. I hoped, however, that I would be able to get into the movie. This adaptation provides a great, complex story, and the sets and costumes are top-notch. I had a couple issues with the film, though. For one thing it seemed to tap into the worst of lesbian stereotypes. Yes, we have the evil, controlling butch lesbian, and, even worse, the finale includes a woman who commits suicide because she cannot find happiness. My expectation is that in this day and age a writer will avoid stereotypes and find fresh and original ways of depicting lesbian experience. Furthermore, there appeared to be no chemistry between the two leads. I never got a sense that there was a great passion. I admire Sarah Waters very much. However, I suspect she writes many of her books by setting up a challenge for herself. That's great, but ultimately she often becomes self-indulgent because she forgets that part of her job is to be entertaining.  Interesting story! October 9, 2008dcg 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Interesting story! As expected, it is beautifully filmed, the dialogue is convincing and the actresses are wonderfull - like other Sarah Waters stories. The actresses do a wonderful job in displaying love for one another, despite the lack of love scenes between them. I Really enjoyed the twist in this one, very unexpected! I give it a 4 however, because the end was a bit disappointing. I agree with the previous reviewer in that if you like happy endings movies, this one will likely dissapoint. Overall though, I though it was a very good movie and worth a look. Good stuff, but lacks of love October 6, 2008Bomb (OZ) 0 out of 2 found this review helpful Being a Sarah Waters' Novel-Film itself, Affinity definitely be a good story. The film brings the novel to life. Like Fingersmith or Tipping the Velvets, this film/novel is full of romantic and surprising bits but it lacks of love scenes. The ending is a bit disappointed, so beware if you love the happy endings movie. I give it a 3 because I was a bit shock myself about the story. Enjoy the film.  Terrible September 23, 2008shyfunnygal 1 out of 3 found this review helpful This was an awful movie! I am a big fan of Sarah Waters Tipping the Velvet and Fingersmith were excellent! This movie was too short, I could not connect to any of the characters, the directing was bad, and it did not give enough of the story! Don't waste your time or money. Get Tipping the Velvet or Fingersmith. | |||||||||||
