    The stop-the-presses news from The House of Mirth is the number of fine performances from people you never knew had it in them.

    Almost in spite of itself, The House of Mirth is powerful, at times even moving.

    This performance should have won Gillian Anderson the Oscar. The entire movie is like watching a beautiful painting come to life.
