The trailer enticed me in...........
It was such a shame that the trailer showed the best parts of the film.
I have never nodded off during a film before, congratulations Anna Karenina you now have the honour of breaking this particular duck.
Best movie ever made!
Boring
I have seen many versions of the film over the years.
There was nothing new to add to the plot, no new twist or version of a twist, it was boring to the point I nearly fell asleep on more than 1 occasion, even the GF was disappointed.
I would not recommend this film for a cinema.
