#its been a while but reminder why its in my top 5 movies of all time - id forgotten its power#truly formative for me#watching a bootleg of the fingersmith turned me gay in high school true story#the way this and Monster both play with slowly revealing information and shifting perspectives until you get a full story#and both end with gays running off to freedom#wow
