Gold Digger (TV Mini Series 2019)

Gold Digger: Created by Marnie Dickens. With Karla-Simone Spence, Julia Ormond, Ben Barnes, Sebastian Armesto. A wealthy older woman falls in love with a younger man, but is the relationship all that it seems?

“Julia Ormond and Ben Barnesu0026#39; performances are very good and the supporting cast is excellent. Ben Barnes delivers many many good bits – too many to list here.nMarnie Dickens wrote and created this series and she and three other women produced it. It is a story about the corrosive effect of domestic violence and how we, mostly women, cope with it. (Check out a review of Rachel Louise-Snyderu0026#39;s book, No Visible Bruises: What We Donu0026#39;t Know About Domestic Violence Can Kill Us – When Will We Care About Domestic Abuse by Caroline Fraser in the May 28th issue of the New York Review of Books.)nThere was not one moment that I thought that Benjamin was after Juliau0026#39;s money.nThe difference in Benjamin and Juliau0026#39;s age is, I think, designed to be and works as a distraction.nThe bookends for me are the first time Benjamin asks Julia to dance and she tells him she canu0026#39;t remember the last time she was asked. And at their wedding reception when Julia asks Benjamin if he would like to dance and he answers u0026quot;alwaysu0026quot;.nI wish Benjamin and Julia the best! And hope that their relationship turns out like Brigitte and Emmanuel Macronu0026#39;s or even more interestingly like Mary Anne and Benjamin Disraeliu0026#39;s.”
