The movie was very accurate, a great representation of the book. I just wish they had made Vronsky be more male-looking.

This movie grabbed me and would not let go. I sensed a bit of Dr. Zhivago with the frigid weather tempered by passionate love and romance. Beautiful piece of work.
Pros well paced, great story, great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Tolstoy's tale of infidelity has been updated in an effort to appeal to younger hipper audiences. It is more choreography and staging than cinema. It is interesting to watch and at times quite beautiful as everyone stops moving until Anna dances past and each couple subsequently begins to dance. But strong visual effects alone do not compensate for the choppy job the director has done with the story itself. Although the acting is fine, the totality of the film misses its mark. I kept feeling that at some point the characters would erupt in song and that this would become a stage musical, but alas even that failed to materialize. Maybe it should have and this might have become another Les Mis. Unfortunately style alone is not enough. The director has made a daring attempt that just misses its mark.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I LOVE this story, and really disliked this movie. I found the whole theatric setting confusing and unsettling, and found it difficult to skip between two stories. I did, however, love the costumes and consider the cost of the ticket just worth the feast for my eyes. Now, I owe my husband big time for sitting through this!
Cons too complex
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I love how they used the theater effects to pay omage to the theatrical version of this story, but not taking away from the movie itself. Costuming was amazing as you would expect. If you have never seen the play our read the book you may be slightly lost.
Pros great story, great actors, costuming, settings
Cons possibly would have to be familiar with the story
Yes, I recommend this movie.
