Leave your thoughts about Anon.
| Consequence of SoundBlake GobleWhile the film’s final thesis is a Facebook post with typos at best (delete your accounts, and so on), Niccol is still terrific when he’s breaking down rules, questioning protocol, and testing new ideas. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfA detective story that's riveting at times, but also periodically ridiculous, remaining in line with the helmer's frustratingly uneven filmography. |
| StarburstMichael ColdwellA high-concept popcorn movie and none the worse for that, Anon gets the tech noir job done and will leave you pondering your digital footprint as you nervously exit the theatre. Mind the step. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperI can’t tell you I bought every last twist and turn in the final act, but thanks to Niccol’s creative direction and the offbeat but effective chemistry between Owen’s emotionally damaged Sal and Seyfried’s is-she-hero-or-villain mystery woman, Anon kept me in its grips throughout. |
| Lyles' Movie FilesJeffrey LylesAn unsatisfying final act spoils some of the fun, but Anon is an otherwise engaging effort and worth checking out on Netflix. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattThe story works well enough in its own moodily familiar way, but it’s not only the movie’s palette that’s stylishly leached of color: Its main characters’ backstories feel perfunctory, the dialogue leans heavy on exposition and hard-boiled cliché, and even Owen looks worn down. |
| Noir CitySean AxmakerIt should be a nightmarish ordeal; yet, for a film steeped in subjectivity and techno-voyeurism, Anon retains a frustrating, video game-style distance from their experiences. |
| Time OutAlex GodfreyThere is some freaky fun here. Niccol’s food for thought leaves a lingering taste. |
| Little White LiesLou ThomasEntertaining and intriguing - even if it provokes privacy concerns. |
| Empire MagazineJames DyerMore potent as a cautionary tale than future noir, Anon’s digital dystopia certainly gets a Like, even if it doesn’t quite warrant a Share. |
