Leave your thoughts about Vanity Fair.
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonNair... revels in Thackeray's lampooning of genteel class warfare... |
| Contra Costa TimesMary F. PolsThis sprawling novel has too many characters, too many locations and covers too much time to be successfully crammed into a feature-length film. |
| CinemaBlendBill BeyrerVanity Fair is a must see, if only because the really, really good stuff doesn't come out for another two months or so. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...demands too many abrupt about-faces for characters who are given episodic screen time to make epic evolutions |
| AboutFilm.comCarlo CavagnaWith a novel of such length, you either have to make a miniseries or adapt it more ruthlessly. |
| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleVanity Fair is a timeless story about life lived, and a skewering of upper class society. Am I less of a man for falling in love with this female friendly movie? |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovWatching it is the equivalent of investing ten million dollars at 0.2% interest. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfNair's ambitions get the best of her, and poison the clarity of her vision. |
| Salon.comCharles TaylorThere may be filmmakers whose own vision is vast enough to take on Thackeray's, but Mira Nair isn't one of them. Her new film of Vanity Fair is a disaster. Scene by scene and moment to moment, it's a woeful misreading of the book. |
| CinerinaKarina MontgomeryIf you had any idea how horrible this book is, you would love how wonderfully this film came out. |
