Anna Karenina (2012) | Rotten Tomatoes (2025)

Audience Reviews

julie b I’ve been meaning to rewatch ever since I read the book a few years ago, and finally got to it. It was somewhat how I remembered - the theatrical style, while playful in some parts, is overall trying too hard and is a distraction from the story.It’s at its best during the game of cat and mouse between Vronsky and Anna + the dance scene. And, the costumes, visuals, and cast are excellent: ATJ is a beautiful angel and I too would lose my mind for him, Keira Knightly is doing what she was born to do, Matthew Macfadyen is a perfect match, and honestly why don’t we have more Domnhall in period dramas? Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Jude B I could not make it through the book when I tried many years ago (too boring), but I mostly enjoyed this movie. Very strange the way they filmed pretty much the whole movie in that one theater and changed sets during scenes. But somehow it kinda worked. I don't usually like Keira's acting, but she drew me in. I didn't know how it ended, but I predicted it right before it happened. That affair ruined her life, and it's a bit tragic. They probably did the best they could from the source material. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Chloe H If Wright didn’t want to make a period film, why did he choose Anna Karenina?? Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/24 Full Review Sophia H Despite the emotional deficiencies this adaptation suffers, the magnificent direction and production created a unique depiction of an extremely complicated piece to adapt. The strong cast carries the story and maybe the genre will not convince you but it is something that must be seen. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/04/24 Full Review Mindful A Way to go making a Tolstoy story into something so boring. Only reason its getting a one star is because of Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Emma T Directed by Joe Wright, based on the Leon Tolstoï's story under the same name, this movie starting with the beautiful Keira Knightley who's playing Anna, married to Alexis Karenine is a reflection of the Russian society in the XIX century. This story is about the secret relationship of Anna and the count Vronski, unfortunatly, their scandalous situation will make Anna choose bitween her stable family situation and her son or her passionate love.I think that the plot is gripping, you absolutly want to know how the main caracter is going to end this situation and it turn in a way you've can't believe it. The realisation is also stunning, most of the scene are taking place in a theater and the photography is impressive, some of the shots are breath taking! The protagonist is spectacular, Keira have done a real performance and Aaron Taylor Jonhson who's playing the comte too, this couple is amazing in front of the camera. The script is thought-provoking and this makes this movie, one of my favourites. Please watch this movie and cry all your tears, you have to.
