One of the worst handlings of pace and timing I’ve ever seen. Months and kilometers can go by without a hint.
The director being Indian hardly seems a reason to sprinkle the film with Indian references. A heavyweight anti-heroine in the novel, Becky Sharp is no more than a shallow character asking men to feed her. Boring, sparkless, unsatisfying.
Rating: Avoid.
