Vanity Fair

Olivia Cooke's interpretation is probably the best Becky Sharp yet: She's intensely charismatic, with a little more bite, and toes the line between being faithful to the book and teasing out more modern feminist themes a little more smoothly.

This Vanity Fair delights the eye, but Nair may be too much the humanist for her own good: she hasn't the instinct for the kill.

Lovely literary adaptation with class issues, battle scenes.

The film is one that gains from being viewed multiple times over the years and that has aged beautifully well.
