"Vanity Fair" Movie Trailer

"Vanity Fair" Movie Synopsis: The new film version of the classic novel by William Makepeace Thackeray centers on Rebecca 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.
Review:
Reese Witherspoon, James Purefoy, and Gabriel Byrne lead a cast of fine actors in director Mira Nair's vision of "Vanity Fair." It's been a while since we've seen Reese Witherspoon in a good dramatic role, so it's refreshing to see she gets to play a character with a lot of depth once more.
