Customer Reviews: The House of Mirth September 17, 2008 Lara Walker (UK) 14 out of 15 found this review helpful I first watched this film with no idea as to the story, other than what is written on the back of the DVD box. And I am so glad I did. Having now read the novel upon which it is based, I have to admit it is one of the very best adaptations I have ever seen. The music, costumes and script are perfect and the acting superb. Gillian Anderson gives a particularly stunning performance as Lily Bart, the tragic heroine. br /I have chosen not to give away the plot in the hope you'll take my word and give it a go, but I challenge you not to cry. stunning January 21, 2009 Crm Hamelinck (The Netherlands) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful This is truly a visually stunning drama. With the most beautiful costumes and decors. And drama it truly is! We meet the attractive and charismatic Lily Bart, convinced and determined of her success. She has flaws though, for she has morals! And she is willfull. Lily lives in class society, with limited means. she must capture the rich and respectable husband her beauty entitles her to. She must please the right people. She must satisfy her aunt who supports her. She must be vigilant. she must shake off an infatuation with an unsuitable (poor) man. She must play the game. she must make friends of the most venomous and dangerous people. She fails, she falls. br /There will be tears. splendid rendition of an ultimately moving tale December 25, 2008 Hill Walker (The Pennines of course!) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful absolutely agree with previous reviewer (although I haven't read the book); excellent portrayal by Ms Anderson in a role which is, at once understated and yet also imperious; not enough good roles for women and stories about women in cinema - this goes some way to redressing the balance in my opinion; bravo Ms Anderson!
