Labeling this film a "lesbian love story" is about as accurate as calling Pride & Prejudice a "straight love story." There's just so much more to it than that. As a whole, it's polished and well delivered, the sex is undertaken with tenderness and delicacy - and although many will not class it as a real "film", it will remain among my favourites for some time to come. Direction-wise, it's intoxicating and immersive - sometimes, fast-paced, sometimes not - but it never ceases to be anything less than compelling. The end result is a stylish affair, with excellent performances all round (particularly from Stirling, Hawes, Chancellor and May). Tipping the Velvet is a story of love, of passion, of moving on, of loss, and of heartbreak.

Buy a video! Through this display of serious inconsideration, this and other magazines are cheapening what is a brilliant adaptation of one of recent literature's greatest works. By saying such a thing, they are either a) turning away those who would instinctively be repelled by "that" subject matter or b) attracting a class of people who will only watch to see some "serious girl-on-girl action". If they are, and I assume they are, trying to promote interest in the film, then this is completely the wrong way to go about it (aside from the phrase being a disappointingly inaccurate description).

I saw one of the premiere TV guides here in the UK (which shall remain nameless) relentlessly describing Tipping the Velvet as a "lesbian love story". I would really like to dispel all doubt by first congratulating Andrew Davies on enabling Geoffrey Sax to create this wonderful dramatization of Sarah Waters' novel by cushioning him with such a fantastic script. Tipping the Velvet has just three weeks ago been released in the UK and already I watch as countless letters flood to the national papers and TV guides, claiming that it possesses a thin plot, weak performances and an even weaker script. I recommend that any lesbian and anyone who loves good fiction, add BOTH the book and the DVD of TIPPING THE VELVET to their bookshelves. They are all wonderfully talented - well, except for the singing and dancing, perhaps - and, moreover, their physical presences are so much what the mind's eye sees when reading the novel before seeing the film. One quick comment about the four actors who essay the primary roles. And I preferred way the novel let Nan "come of age" than the way Davies chose.

But I really think that author Waters' final nod to the rose symbol was much more interesting. As the screenplay was plotted by Davies, the denouement was inevitable and appropriate. I also would take issue with his use of the book's primary symbol, the rose. But Davies missed a half-dozen moments that are so excruciatingly, painfully tender which he could have incorporated if his sensibility were more feminine. I certainly enjoyed those, on film as in the book. Davies, as he admits in the commentary that accompanies the film on DVD, wanted particularly to emphasis the more scatological bits in the book. I realize that Davies is a very good adapter, but I wish the producers had chosen a woman to write the screenplay. But, still, it's often hard to read the original material after a film gives away the best parts. I know that one must view a novel and a film as different media and judge them accordingly. I'm glad I read (twice) the book first which is usually the case for me. I think Andrew Davies did an admirable job of taking a magnificent book which emulated the pace and styling of a Victorian novel and turning it into a moving and entertaining film.

In Tipping the Velvet, the protagonist is hardly aware of what being lesbian means! The BBC have made some wonderful productions in the past, and this adventurous period piece only confirms their standard of excellence on all fronts.

It seems that to allow people to be comfortable with watching gays and lesbians on TV and movies most shows fill it full of cliches and make the characters obsessed with being gay. Also, this production avoids the mistake most films/shows make when dealing with homosexuality/lesbianism. The protagonist is really a tragic figure, but not devoid of happiness. There is a fair amount of humor but it has surprisingly dark interludes. The sets and costumes are flawless, the direction is stylish and the characters are likeable. Considering the strong sexual themes and explicit lovemaking scenes, not to mention lesbianism, this has been given superb treatment and direction. It is surprising that a production like this gets made these days, especially for television.
