  so brilliant

  I absolutely love this adaptation of Vanity Fair. Natasha Little really understands Becky Sharp and brings great depth to the part. It's so much better than the Reese Witherspoon adaptation - I think it's probably because this one is longer and so there is more time for the characters to develop. RENT IT! It's brilliant.
