  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.

  fantastic

  This really does justice to the book. Natasha Little is the anti-heroine, you absolutely love and hate her. I totally recommend this and especially recommend, if you have the time, to watch it all the way through in one go.
