Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Joe Williams (923) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 21 Nov 2012

Even more than most versions of Anna Karenina, this chamber piece is heated by two combustible characters, not by the winds of war and peace…

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Lisa Kennedy (833) for Denver Post (1,096) on 21 Nov 2012

Thank goodness for Domhnall Gleeson's gentle turn as Oblonsky's friend Levin. The ginger-haired landowner is the movie's warmest figure…

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Steven Rea (1,872) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 21 Nov 2012

It's hard not to admire Wright's bold approach to Anna Karenina's story of longing and jealousy and societal condemnation…

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Austin Kennedy (419) for Film Geek Central (133) on 20 Nov 2012

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 20 Nov 2012

It's not that the artificiality doesn't work sometimes. It does, as some of the scenes are gorgeous to look at…

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Moira Macdonald (1,892) for Seattle Times (3,524) on 20 Nov 2012

You don't merely watch Joe Wright's sumptuous Anna Karenina, but you waltz with it, run with it, whirl with it…

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 19 Nov 2012

The story has been filmed many times, but never with this kind of erotic charge…

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Nov 2012

Visually stunning but emotionally vapid...a one-trick pony that reduces the tragic dimension of its source to an ornate soap operatic bauble…

By Alison Willmore (681) for Movieline (883) on 18 Nov 2012

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Ethan Alter (997) for Television Without Pity (337) on 16 Nov 2012

Anna Karenina is beautiful to look at, but mostly unengaging -- a film that's more enamored with its own technique that it is with Tolstoy's story…

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Sandy Schaefer (333) for ScreenRant (1,013) on 16 Nov 2012

Wright's rendition of Anna Karenina is indeed flawed but the rich performances, succinct screenwriting, and strong direction make it a re-interpretation…

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Jeanne Kaplan (738) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 16 Nov 2012

Knightley will be a forerunner for an Oscar. She is astounding as Anna…

Review of Anna Karenina (2012)

By Rebecca Cusey (105) for Patheos (85) on 16 Nov 2012
