While I haven't seen the movie, the one thing that bothers me is the sheer difference in age between the two, at least IRL. But that's just me.

This isn't the first time Winslet has played a supposed historical lesbian. She was great in Heavenly Creatures, although there was no concrete evidence that her character (who became the novelist Anne Perry) ctually was a lesbian; as far as I know she never married or had any male partners whatsoever.
