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

When [Anna and Vronsky] first lay eyes on each other at the train station in St. Petersburg, the only steam between them comes from the engine.

This sleek, Cliffs Notes version of a masterpiece is ... glossy and picture perfect on the surface and hollow at the core.
January 01, 2000
Doesn't build strong relationships between the characters, relying instead on overheated words and performances to generate false intensity.

You're better off reading the Cliff's Notes.

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

Bloodless and shallow adaptation.

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

In Sophie Marceau ... [Rose] has a fine young Anna.

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

Like its opening, Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina is half-successful.
January 01, 2000
[Rose's] screenplay is a ragbag, nothing like a tragedy in which the nemesis is Time. And his casting!
