"Victorian costume drama with the romance stripped out"
Victorian London, seen from the gutter up: a whip-smart, ambitious prostitute named Sugar schemes her way into the life of a wealthy, weak-willed perfumer's heir, hoping to escape the brothel for good.

It's slow-burning and literary rather than plot-driven, carried almost entirely by its lead performance and a coldly beautiful sense of dread underneath the period trappings.
the lead performance turning ambition and desperation into something quietly ferocious.
