Critics Consensus

Lacking enough depth to fulfill its evident ambitions or enough excitement to work as a sci-fi action thriller, Anon lives down to its title in the most glumly predictable ways.

2/5

The tone-deaf execution of the film - all flat-line delivery and awkward pauses - rather undermines the intelligence of the premise.

All we're missing is a story worth caring about.

Ends up like an episode of Black Mirror without the jokes. Or much of the drama.

2/4

Neat ideas aside, the antiseptic quality of Anon, including predictable plot machinations, leaves the experience emotionally vacant.

The weariness before the characters and the lack of concretion beat the notes of wit. [Full Review in Spanish]

Anon is one of those films where you imagine that the writer sat around thinking about how cool and edgy his script was, completely missing the fact that the story jumps around from scene to scene with very little cohesion or sense.

I guess I liked it better than most. The premise and technology was interesting, but a little too predictable for my taste.
