As Mary admitted her sins to Matthew, we started doing some light math and realized it has been six, or maybe even seven years, since Mary slept with Pamuk. This poor girl has been paying for approximately three minutes of presumable discomfort for six years. Matthew’s reaction, thankfully, is not the worst of it, and Dan Stevens does a masterful job, looking equal parts hurt and resentful, but never sanctimonious. (The Edgar Allen Poe Vampire is gone.) Then the bickering! “I’m Tess of the D’Urbervilles to your Angel Clare, I have fallen, I am impure.” Go on, go on, forever. And then, finally, Matthew’s shy side smile and that magic line: “I never would…I never could despise you.” Oh, when these two are really on, it is heart-stoppingly good.
