I would have liked to see it!

I read this because I heard she was turning it into a movie and have no regrets. I normally don't like Wharton but Undine Spragg is a delicious bad girl in the vein of Scarlett O'Hara.

TBH I'm not sure Coppola would have been the right writer for this (I feel like her screenplays often leave much to be desired), but I would loooove to see a version and Pugh I think would have had a lot of fun with it.

"but Undine Spragg is a delicious bad girl in the vein of Scarlett O'Hara."

I'm not familiar with Edith Warton material but lol I watched the Gone with the Wind last year and I later saw a tumblr post about Scarlett O'Hara saying "the original gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss girl" which had me hollering cause TRUE!!

ETA:

" (I feel like her screenplays often leave much to be desired),"

That's my issue with Sofia's style. She focuses more on the emotional/visual expressions and atmosphere than the more face value of acting, which is why I think her films run the risk of coming boring and dragging. Like for me it takes rewatches to kinda appreciate it.

men need to stop saying 'unlikable' when they mean 'unfuckable to me specifically'

people LOVE to pay attention to unlikable women. see: bravo tv. social media. every taylor/selena/ariana post.
