Vanity Fair (2004)
When you are used to watching Dickens adaptations that run for six episodes plus, films based on classic literature always seem rushed especially ones as expansive as this.
Reese Witherspoon , James Purefoy and Gabriel Byrne are all excellent but the rest of the cast and indeed the story simply seemed to be passing by.
I'd like to think that this story spread across six hours may be very good but on the other hand i'm not convinced the source material, classic as it is, is all that engaging.
