Entertainment Reviews:
There are palace intrigues, beddings and beheadings, and lots of well-staged theater. Rhys Ifans turns out to be the best surprise of all...
Los Angeles Times
This is a stupid person's idea of what a clever film might be and, although I adore Ifans, not even he can save it.

The Spectator
4 stars out of 5 -- What works in ANONYMOUS is that Emmerich's first focus is the plot. Fleet and fascinating, he convinces the audience that this centuries-old half-true melodrama demands attention.
Box Office
Rating: 2/4 --
I could offer a long list of the historical inaccuracies in the film.But the inaccuracies aren't actually the biggest problem in a film that purports to offer an argument for the true identity of the greatest dramatist to live.

...it's ultimately clear that Emmerich should stick to the larger-than-life, blockbuster fare with which he's become associated.

Rating: 1/10 --
Regardless of your views on Shakespeare's authorship, Anonymous is an insulting, plodding, dull, unfocused junk heap of a film.

Anonymous is little more than a typical Emmerich production wrapped up in Elizabethan clothing.

Product Description:
Director Roland Emmerich takes a break from his long string of big-budget disaster films with ANONYMOUS, a historical drama that suggests Shakespeare was a fraud. Edward de Vere (Rhys Ifans) is an aristocrat who yearns to write poetry and plays, but due to social and political constraints, he is forced to use a front for his political-minded works because they subtly encourage Queen Elizabeth to alter her plan for succession in a way that is in direct opposition to her most-trusted political advisers. When drunken, illiterate, fame-hungry actor William Shakespeare (Rafe Spall) passes off the plays as his own, de Vere finds his man, but eventually he is blackmailed when the morally dubious thespian wants more and more. ANONYMOUS screened at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
