Leave your thoughts about The House of Mirth.
| Rochester Democrat and ChronicleJack GarnerThe cruelty of class and the shame of an unforgiving society have seldom been as forcefully displayed. |
| City Pages, Minneapolis/St. PaulRob NelsonEverything about the film feels ornate but funereal, like an airless luxury suite on the last night of an affair. |
| Houston ChronicleEric HarrisonAnderson ... gives a performance as compelling and impressive as anything we've seen all year. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardThe stop-the-presses news from The House of Mirth is the number of fine performances from people you never knew had it in them. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversThis stunning movie -- one of the very best of the year -- makes a much read American classic feel new and freshly devastating. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWesley MorrisHer (Anderson) performance is a study in the difference between hubris and pride, remarkable for how unshowy but profoundly devastating it is. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyA bit slow, but featuring good performances, a great overall look and all of that thick, underlying tension. |
| Denver PostSteven RosenA beautiful, elegantly tasteful film about the utter and complete devastation of a human being. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThe movie will seem slow to some viewers, unless they are alert to the raging emotions, the cruel unfairness and the desperation that are masked by the measured and polite words of the characters. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanAlthough the cast is uniformly strong, the real revelation here is "The X-Files' " Anderson, who plays Lily with subtle gradations of emotional depth unexpected from someone who has made a career out of deadpan. |
