Gorgeous cinematography, a lilting score and near-faultless performances, under Wright's assured direction, make this the first contender for next year's Best Picture Oscar

everyone who left a 5 star rating needs to atone for their sins!
Absolutely the most boring film ever! I'm a literary student and usually love adaptations but this film is so slow moving. Dont go there!

Knightley shunned previous Kareninas for research
- WENN Newsdesk
- 03 Apr 2012
Keira Knightley refused to rewatch previous adaptations of Anna Karenina prior to filming the latest big screen take on Leo Tolstoy's epic novel over fears she'd accidentally copy other actresses' performances.
