Reviews
The film received mostly positive reviews. The Rotten Tomatoes meta service has an average rating of 61% in 152 reviews. The majority of the critics praised the actors, with Knightley and Law in particular receiving good reviews for their acting. Metascore has an average rating of 63%.
The critic Oliver Lyttleton gave the film a B + and called it a "brave re-enactment" of the classic that can be appreciated "despite minor flaws". He praised the leading actors, camera work and music as well as the spectacular costumes and the production design. However, due to the concept of incorporating elements of theater, Lyttleton expected the film to "divide audiences enormously".
The critic of the film magazine Empire awarded 4 out of 5 stars and praised the director and actor:
“If the film doesn't win your heart in the way it could, Anna Karenina is a historical drama in its most exciting, exhilarating and modern form. Captivating. "
Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian Wright's approach to the classic was more critical, giving it 3 out of 5 stars:
"Set in a fantasy theater world, Tom Stoppards and Joe Wright's bold adaptation - starring Keira Knightley and Jude Law - sacrifices the intensity of the novel for creative flair."
Total Films critic Neil Smith finally described the film as a "disappointing Christmas present" that would give you away as soon as you remove the shiny packaging.
The German Film and Media Assessment (FBW) awarded the feature film the rating "particularly valuable."

backgrounds
It is the third collaboration between Joe Wright and Keira Knightley after Pride and Prejudice (2005) and Atonement (2007).
Many scenes from the film seem to take place in a theater of the 19th century. Visible changes in costume and scenery on and in front of the stage create a peculiar "aesthetic of the performance". Through the use of filmic alienation effects , however, it is continuously exposed as illusory .
