Doesn't build strong relationships between the characters, relying instead on overheated words and performances to generate false intensity.

This version manages to be both the most pretentious and anaemic yet.

Marceau and Bean have no chemistry, which is essential to a film like this.

A copy of the paperback book should cost about as much as a movie ticket, and will provide a more lasting and worthwhile investment.

Only die-hard romantics are likely not to come away disappointed.

Top CriticLike its opening, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is half-successful.

Bloodless and shallow adaptation.
