Review of Vanity Fair (2004)

By Mary F. Pols (536) for Contra Costa Times (478) on 31 Aug 2004

Review of Vanity Fair (2004)

By Jeffrey Chen (849) for Window to the Movies (638) on 31 Aug 2004

Showing up in what amounts to cinematic cameos, India absolutely blows 19th century England away. It made me wish more of the tale took place there…

Review of Vanity Fair (2004)

By Phil Villarreal (1,289) for Arizona Daily Star (983) on 31 Aug 2004

Starts with energetic glee, but, by the end, it's mocking itself more than skewering society…

By Cherryl Dawson And Leigh Ann Palone (956) for TheMovieChicks.com (956) on 31 Aug 2004

Trying to adapt a lengthy period novel is always a bit ambitious and you end up skimming the surface of the story - visually, it's stunning…

By Donald J. Levit (489) for ReelTalk Movie Reviews (1,771) on 31 Aug 2004

Thackeray's readers could not help but root for his 'I'm no angel Becky,' but there's nothing to care for in this overblown production…

Review of Vanity Fair (2004)

By Robert W. Butler (884) for Kansas City Star (1,573) on 31 Aug 2004

Thackeray's lumbering, episodic narrative rarely comes to life. Even Witherspoon's trademark perkiness seems muted and dulled…

Review of Vanity Fair (2004)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for Movie Mom (753) on 30 Aug 2004

Witherspoon takes on the movie the way Becky takes on the world, with oceans of sheer star quality to dazzle and beguile. Resistance is futile…

A 'Vanity Fair' with a half-realized Becky Sharp is, in the end, a Vanity Unsatisfactory…

Review of Vanity Fair (2004)

By John Beifuss (1,947) for Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) (1,944) on 30 Aug 2004

Nair's least persuasive film, in part because Becky has been reimagined as such a modern, proto-feminist heroine that she sometimes seems advanced…

By Rebecca Murray (740) for About.com (1,470) on 30 Aug 2004

Chock-full of praiseworthy performances and impeccably directed by Nair, the film's flaw is that there's something standoffishness about the…
