Synopsis
The House of Mirth (2000) is a British drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Terence Davies from Edith Wharton's 1905 novel. Gillian Anderson plays Lily Bart — a socially impeccable but penniless woman working every angle of New York high society at the turn of the century.
Lily needs a rich husband, and the window keeps closing. Each small miscalculation costs her another friendship, another invitation, another rung. Wharton built the novel around the invisible machinery that governs who belongs and who gets exiled — and Davies puts it on screen without warmth to soften the gears. Laura Linney, Dan Aykroyd, Anthony LaPaglia, and Eric Stoltz round out the cast.
The film is slow, precise, and quietly devastating — not one you watch for comfort, but one you keep thinking about. Stream The House of Mirth (2000) on iFILM.
