Entertainment Reviews:
4.5 stars out of 5 -- [A] masterpiece of moving pieces, a dizzying and obscenely beautiful film that boils down Tolstoy's text to its most basic elements by making literal the theater of high society.
Box Office
[A] new adaptation that streamlines the backpack-breaking novel, and most audaciously, stages its action as a stage production that doesn’t attempt to hide its own theatricality.
A.V. Club
It's a testament to the strength of the performances and of Wright's staging that the film retains its emotional urgency.
Sight and Sound
This Anna Karenina might not be Tolstoy, but it's the next best thing to a Baz Luhrmann extravaganza, and with even better costumes. The conceit is ingenious, the execution breathtaking (or breathless at a minimum).

The Nation
All of this calculated design, which plays like an astutely choreographed musical without any discernible music, only mutes our feelings for the roiling, raging passionate affair that's supposed to be transpiring before our eyes.

Enthralling, moving, exhilarating. Majestic and sweeping. The best and most brilliant interpretation of Tolstoy I have ever seen.

Behind The Lens
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Its nearly flawless craft is done at the expense of the story rather than in service of it, and that I think is its fatal mistake.

Product Description:
Director Joe Wright reteams with Keira Knightley for this version of ANNA KARENINA, which boasts a script by Tom Stoppard. Knightley stars as the title character, a Russian woman who cheats on her respected husband (Jude Law) with a young soldier (Aaron Johnson) and suffers greatly for her betrayal. Wright sets the action in a theater, often segueing from scene to scene by utilizing different spaces within the same set. ANNA KARENINA screened at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival.
