Reviews for Anna Karenina
Top CriticProvided you have a burning interest in pretty visuals and less regard for the whys and wherefores of human behavior, this latest adaptation of Tolstoy's classic is a pleasant watch.
01/01/00
Sumptuous cinematography, glorious sets and costumes dominate throughout the film.
01/01/00
Bloodless and shallow adaptation.

Top CriticThis version manages to be both the most pretentious and anaemic yet.
01/01/00
Marceau and Bean have no chemistry, which is essential to a film like this.
01/01/00
This sleek, Cliffs Notes version of a masterpiece is ... glossy and picture perfect on the surface and hollow at the core.

Top Critic[Rose's] screenplay is a ragbag, nothing like a tragedy in which the nemesis is Time. And his casting!

Top CriticIn Sophie Marceau ... [Rose] has a fine young Anna.

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

Top CriticLike its opening, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is half-successful.
01/01/00
Doesn't build strong relationships between the characters, relying instead on overheated words and performances to generate false intensity.
