So can we somehow make a bargain with the film world: no more Anna Kareninas? You're making idiots of yourselves.
David Thomson, The New Republic
Overview

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
It's a half-success -- a baldly conceptual response to the Leo Tolstoy novel, with a heavy theatrical framework placed around the narrative of girl meets boy, followed by girl meets train.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
Fresh
In this adaptation, director Joe Wright, plus screenwriter Tom Stoppard, are determined to tame the untameable. And they do.
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Rotten
"Anna Karenina," lush as it is, fails to strike a fully human chord.
Tom Long, Detroit News
Rotten
The very picture of noble failure, it's a bright red heart without a beat.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
