PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"Don't let the frilly costumes, courtly language and historical pretense fool you: "Anonymous" is still a Roland Emmerich movie (...) Rating: ** (out of four)" (Ann Hornaday: The Washington Post)

----------------------------------------
"A vulgar prank on the English literary tradition, a travesty of British history and a brutal insult to the human imagination. Apart from that, it's not bad. (A. O. Scott: The New York Times)

----------------------------------------
"A splendid experience: the dialogue, the acting, the depiction of London, the lust, jealousy and intrigue (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"A rousing but historically dubious conspiracy theory about who really wrote Shakespeare’s plays, enlivened by superb acting and Roland Emmerich’s most restrained direction ever" (Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter)

----------------------------------------
"If you can ignore the factual errors and the looney-tunes theories, the film has its moments (...)a tale full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" (Colin Covert: Minneapolis Star Tribune )
