Title: Entertaining, well-adapted Victorian drama
Review: This is a well-made adaptation of Thackeray's Victorian drama - sumptious sets and costumes, good acting, high production values. This was produced and written by the people behind Pride & Prejudice - and while I enjoyed this - it certainly does not compare to P&P. Natasha Little is splendid as Becky Sharp though I was disappointed that the actress who played Amelia Sedley wasn't "pretty enough" and the film's plot does tend to "jump around" a bit. If you're looking for a more satisfying, enjoyable Victorian drama, check out "Middlemarch" (starring Rufus Sewell and Juliet Aubrey) or "Great Expectations" (starring Ioan Gruffud) instead.
