- One of America's most popular stars unites with one of the world's most acclaimed directors to bring to the screen one of the greatest female characters ever created. The new film version of the classic novel by William Makepeace Thackeray centers on Rebecca (Becky) Sharp. Born into the lower class, Becky can rely only on her wit, guile, and sexuality as she makes her way up through London society circa 1820.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Graced with Nair's loving direction, Witherspoon's radiance and that great cast, it is a treat, if somewhat less so than the novel."
-
"Despite its flaws, the movie is compulsively watchable, and few will be bored by it. It's a charming movie that falls short of greatness, but is still worth a solid recommendation."
-
"The spirit of that most modern of 19th century heroines, Becky Sharp, remains intact, and Nair's Indian touches make for an intriguing, fresh approach."
-
"Nair's approach never entirely convinces, and the adaptation of the 900-plus-page book becomes increasingly episodic, making this Vanity Fair more a collection of intermittent pleasures than a satisfying emotional repast."
-
"Nair makes Vanity Fair an elegant showcase for an unforgettable heroine"
-
"In mixing satire and romance, the movie proves once again that the two are about as compatible as lemon juice and heavy cream."
-
"In an effort to blend Thackeray and 'Sex and the City,' Vanity Fair ends up nowhere"
