Movie Reviews

The Playlist - 10/10 by Todd Gilchristit fails on its own merits as a messy biopic and even messier historical epic whose authenticity becomes irrelevant when its execution is incompetent.
AALBC.com - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsAll the fixins for a convoluted, costume drama of, dare I say it, Shakespearean proportions.
New Yorker - 10/10 by David DenbyThe Oxford theory is ridiculous, yet the filmmakers go all the way with it, producing endless scenes of indecipherable court intrigue in dark, smoky rooms, and a fashion show of ruffs, farthingales, and halberds. The more far-fetched the idea, it seems, the more strenuous the effort to pass it off as authentic.
Boston Herald - 9/10 by James Verniere'Anonymous' a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.
Tampa Bay Times - 9/10 by Steve PersallThe most succinct evidence that Shakespeare was a fraud is offered by Derek Jacobi in prologue and epilogue, alone on a Broadway stage before a rapt audience. As usual in matters of the Bard, the play's the thing.
ABC Radio Brisbane - 9/10 by Matthew ToomeyPerhaps there is an element of truth in this tale but director Roland Emmerich makes it very hard to believe with this muddled story.
Observer (UK) - 9/10 by Philip FrenchThe American screenwriter John Orloff may have wished for a muse of fire, but unfortunately he's been given an ear of cloth, and his film would hardly pass muster as a sixth-form end-of-term romp.
IGN Movies - 9/10 by Jim VejvodaThe film may piss off more viewers than it wins over, but there's no denying that Anonymous has balls the size of The Globe Theatre.
ComingSoon.net - 9/10 by Edward DouglasA glorious revelation of a film that could very well be considered Roland Emmerich's Moulin Rouge!
Toronto Star - 9/10 by Peter HowellAnonymous is so dubious in its intent and so tangled in its execution, it might have worked better as a comedy like Notting Hill or The Boat That Rocked, where Ifans could agreeably play the fool as before.
