I did enjoy this movie,
I think Kiera did a good (not fantastic) job of portraying the infamous adulterous, and I had no issues with the rest of the cast. None of them were particularly bad in their roles, though I did not think any of then were amazing (except for Jude Law who played Anna's husband very well).
The place where this film really stood out was in its style. The costumes, the sets, the creativity, and how everything is set to a sort of abstract motion really set this film apart. My personal favourite scene was when Count Vronsky and Anna were dancing for the first time, the dance was beautiful, and the filming was expertly done.
It all came at a price, the style took precedence over the substance, which is essential in a movie, the characters could have been developed more, the relationships and events could have been explored in more depth. Though the substance was not atrocious, it was nothing special.
A 7 is the perfect number to summarize the quality of this film. It was pure style that took the place of story and character.
