Watched "Emily" on @kanopy last night. I love period films. But I'm tired of them making up hot relationships for women when there's no evidence of them. Cut it out.
I'm looking at you, #Ammonite.

Just watched House of Mirth last night myself. Guess great minds stream alike ...
First, it's gorgeous: every frame a painting. Fine performances by Gillian Anderson, Eric Stolz, & Anthony LaPaglia. Dan Ackroyd not so much. Laura Linney was, superbly, incandescently hateful.
The ending: who HASN’T considered suicide instead of a job? But I wished Lily shared the cheerful resilience of, say, Anne Elliot's friend Miss Smith.
Watching House of Mirth starring Gillian Anderson and Eric Stoltz, et al. Based on an Edith Wharton novel of the same name. Wharton made her female protagonists sympathetic through their tragic circumstances and choices. Though they may not always be rendered destitute, they may feel forced to trade in love for security, and acceptability.
