Review of Anon (2018)

By Ed Potton (195) for Times (UK) (2,458) on 09 May 2018

Ends up like an episode of Black Mirror without the jokes. Or much of the drama…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Lou Thomas (27) for Little White Lies (3,136) on 09 May 2018

Entertaining and intriguing - even if it provokes privacy concerns…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Evan Narcisse (18) for io9.com (258) on 09 May 2018

The end result is a movie that feels too pleased with its own cleverness to do anything more than glance at its philosophical themes…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Brian Orndorf (4,059) for Blu-ray.com (2,093) on 08 May 2018

A detective story that's riveting at times, but also periodically ridiculous, remaining in line with the helmer's frustratingly uneven filmography…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Geoffrey Macnab (1,253) for Independent (UK) (2,026) on 08 May 2018

In its weaker moments, Anon feels less like a traditional detective story than an exercise in computer search engine sleuthing…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Angie Errigo (463) for The List (2,018) on 08 May 2018

It is cold, detached and one note - a note so subdued it becomes soporific…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Amelia Navascues (43) for Triple J (121) on 08 May 2018

You can't steal from every single stylistic choice from the history of sci-fi thrillers and not expect a complete train wreck…

Review of Anon (2018)

By James Dyer (59) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 08 May 2018

More potent as a cautionary tale than future noir, Anon’s digital dystopia certainly gets a Like, even if it doesn’t quite warrant a Share…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Chris Osterndorf (14) for The Daily Dot (155) on 07 May 2018

Anon is essentially an extended Black Mirror episode. Unfortunately, it plays like one of the more mediocre offerings from that series…

Review of Anon (2018)

By David Nusair (3,363) for Reel Film Reviews (3,339) on 07 May 2018

Filmmaker Andrew Niccol, working from his own screenplay, does an absolutely astonishing job of initially establishing the futuristic landscape…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Alex Godfrey (59) for Time Out (7,510) on 07 May 2018

There is some freaky fun here. Niccol’s food for thought leaves a lingering taste…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Valerie Kalfrin (25) for Film Racket (579) on 07 May 2018

Anon creates a compelling and timely premise, but it gazes one way while something more intriguing happens out of view…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Blake Goble (229) for Consequence of Sound (1,431) on 06 May 2018

While the film’s final thesis is a Facebook post with typos at best (delete your accounts, and so on), Niccol is still terrific when he’s…

Review of Anon (2018)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 05 May 2018

A standard-order noir murder mystery with a confused, contrived last act, Anon is more notable for how it sees the future than what it sees…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Nick Allen (397) for RogerEbert.com (5,563) on 04 May 2018

Part of the thrill in watching Niccol’s movies is in seeing him thoroughly curate dreams of our future that play off like logical possibilities…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Leah Greenblatt (734) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 03 May 2018

The story works well enough in its own moodily familiar way, but it’s not only the movie’s palette that’s stylishly leached of color…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Chicago Sun-Times (7,580) on 03 May 2018

I can’t tell you I bought every last twist and turn in the final act, but thanks to Niccol’s creative direction and the offbeat but effective…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Joe Reid (103) for Decider (264) on 03 May 2018

Anon keeps scraping at compelling ideas, but it's paced far too slowly and looks too visually messy to hold interest…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Bryan Bishop (118) for The Verge (432) on 03 May 2018

It's an amiable thriller that will definitely account for an enjoyable couple of hours in the lives of Netflix subscribers, though it likely…

Review of Anon (2018)

By Roger Moore (6,008) for Movie Nation (3,875) on 03 May 2018

Visually striking, thought-provoking yet emotionally drained, Anon is just too empty to make one care…
