Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Citizencharlie (90) on 31 Oct 2011

Audiences may sometimes divide themselves when it comes to historical fiction…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Thomas Caldwell (278) for Cinema Autopsy (278) on 29 Oct 2011

A remarkably restrained and complex film that explores the power that popular entertainment has to embed ideological ideas into the minds of…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Cole Smithey (1,865) for ColeSmithey.com (1,853) on 29 Oct 2011

Creaking narrative construction succumbs to gigantic cracks of exposition and a maze of disjointed flashbacks in Roland Emmerich's disastrous…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By James Berardinelli (4,524) for ReelViews (4,523) on 29 Oct 2011

Anonymous is well-paced and never threatens to bore or become too scholarly…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Philip French (1,151) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 29 Oct 2011

The American screenwriter John Orloff may have wished for a muse of fire, but unfortunately he's been given an ear of cloth, and his film would…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Sir_Brandon (28) on 29 Oct 2011

The writings by William Shakespeare are celebrated all over the world…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Tony Medley (1,109) for Tolucan Times (639) on 28 Oct 2011

disappointing, overly long, convoluted, confusing, and fatuous, exacerbated by the depiction of Queen Elizabeth I as a profligate slut…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 28 Oct 2011

Frankly, if I'm going to be offered a heaping pile of revisionism about the greatest writer who ever lived, I'd rather it be from someone with…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Jim Vejvoda (203) for IGN Movies (1,472) on 28 Oct 2011

The film may piss off more viewers than it wins over, but there's no denying that Anonymous has balls the size of The Globe Theatre…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for SSG Syndicate (1,551) on 28 Oct 2011

An opulent 16th century costume drama that serves as a far-fetched, alternative-history curiousity, continuing the mystery…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Lisa Giles-Keddie (242) for Real.com (194) on 28 Oct 2011

What must not be forgotten is this is an entertaining piece of imaginary work in itself - as suggested by the opening prologue by Derek Jacobi…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Prairie Miller (985) for NewsBlaze (855) on 28 Oct 2011

A tale worthy of a Shakespeare play in its own right when not more suited for the Enquirer, the film is striking to behold…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Matthew Pejkovic (770) for Matt's Movie Reviews (913) on 28 Oct 2011

Bountiful in look and scandal yet convoluted in plot and historical validity, Anonymous tries to be a serious work of art but doesn't have…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Derek Malcolm (772) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 27 Oct 2011

The whole thing is splendidly decked out and dramatised with swirling panache…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Bill Gibron (1,013) for PopMatters (2,617) on 27 Oct 2011

If convolution where compliments, Anonymous would be one highly flattered film…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Kevin Carr (1,610) for 7M Pictures (1,037) on 27 Oct 2011

Convoluted at worst and confusing at best, Anonymous looks pretty and is for the most part competently acted, but it's not Shakespeare. Not by a mile…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Dan Lybarger (786) for Huffington Post (170) on 27 Oct 2011

Emmerich can say what he likes, but I would rather go read whomever wrote the great folio…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Andrea Chase (1,182) for Killer Movie Reviews (1,182) on 27 Oct 2011

As historical entertainment, it is bracing in its twists and turns…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Dana Stevens (1,435) for Slate (2,081) on 27 Oct 2011

What's disappointing about Anonymous is that it isn't dumb enough…

Review of Anonymous (2011)

By Alonso Duralde (1,351) for TheWrap (3,203) on 27 Oct 2011
