The House of Mirth

Drama A woman risks losing her chance of happiness with the only man she has ever loved.
Media Author Review
United States
Slant
"Besides his remarkable ability to render a profound sense of past in all his films, Davies can uncannily map out the emotions of his characters via his mise-en-scene." 
United States
Variety
"Plays more like Scenes From Edith Wharton's Novel than a dramatically involving adaptation."
United States
Rolling Stone
"Davies attains a narrative purity of shocking intimacy and emotional force."
United States
Boston Globe
"Those who know Anderson only from TV's X-Files will find this performance a revelation."
United Kingdom
BBC
Davies becomes so transfixed by the detail of this self-enclosed world of privileged hypocrites that he omits to give his film any emotional drive.
United States
The New York Times
"Although set nearly a hundred years ago, it still sends a chill of recognition and dread."
