About
You’ll likely enjoy this bold, theater-like Anna Karenina adaptation if you like stylish classics and big social tension; Not for you if you want a straightforward telling or dislike artsy, stage-bound storytelling like The Duchess or Atonement.
Pros: stunning period costumes; theatrical staging; compelling emotions | Cons: confusing structure; melodramatic tone; character motivations unclear
