Critic Reviews of "Anonymous"
St. Louis Post-DispatchNovember 04, 2011Will Shakespeare, whose words shine on, bright and brave, Is turning o'er with laughter in his grave.
ReelViewsOctober 30, 2011File this one in the category of entertaining historical fiction. There are facts here, but one must possess more than a passing familiarity with history to be able to spot them.
Christian Science MonitorOctober 29, 2011John Orloff's screenplay could have used a rewrite by de Vere -- or whomever.
TheWrapOctober 28, 2011Knowing that non-Masterpiece Theater audiences will grow fidgety over this sort of thing, Emmerich and Orloff throw in plenty of sword-fighting, bear-baiting, and bodice-ripping.
Houston ChronicleOctober 28, 2011The digitally wrought period settings are simply gorgeous.
Chicago ReaderOctober 28, 2011This is irresistible as self-knowing camp: the players ham it up in high fashion and the script crams at least one lurid revelation into every scene.
Reel Film ReviewsMarch 04, 2014...it's ultimately clear that Emmerich should stick to the larger-than-life, blockbuster fare with which he's become associated.
Big HollywoodJune 30, 2013The director offers up an unfocused but intriguing alternate look at William Shakespeare.
We Got This CoveredFebruary 11, 2013Roland Emmerich takes a questionable literary controversy and deftly forms it into an Elizabethan political drama in the Shakespeare-themed 'Anonymous'.
TheShiznit.co.ukSeptember 28, 2012Don't let the fact that it's different - or unadulterated bullshit of the highest order - put you off a story that, in truth, is more interesting than it is wholly entertaining or accurate.
Examiner.comSeptember 18, 2012It may be one of the signs of the apocalypse, but thanks to a well-written screenplay, spot-on performances, and a fantastic production design, Emmerich has finally made a great film.
