7/10

Thomas Clay's feminist folktale asks us to question whether it is strength of character, not adherence to an arbitrary set of rules, that makes a person “good“. 'Fanny Lye Deliver'd' isn't a happy film, but Fanny's liberation and her rejection of tyrannical rule ensures that it is an empowering one.
