2/5
Farmiga stands out in an otherwise rote and thrill-neutral tale of a psychic gumshoe. Go to Full Review

2/4
It's as messy as a teen's bedroom and packed with all manner of distracting clutter that needlessly burdens a plot. Go to Full Review
Ella Taylor Variety 06/05/2014
If only the movie didn't insist on constantly telling us what it has quite clearly shown. Go to Full Review
Abbie Bernstein Assignment X 01/12/2019
B-
When it should blow our minds, Anna sinks back into the conventional, suggesting that either somebody involved high up the power ladder lost [their] nerve, or else the creative team had a lot of good notions but not the big one to tie the rest together. Go to Full Review
Nathan Bartlebaugh The Film Stage 06/06/2016
C+
Instead of a silly throw-away schlocker, Anna turns out to be a modestly entertaining slice of B-movie entertainment. Go to Full Review
Christopher Schobert The Playlist 08/24/2014
C+
There is nothing particularly fresh about "Anna," from its script to its direction to its cast. Go to Full Review

Jelisije J Oct 22 You ever seen a film where you feel they left more around the table and just didn't show it?....... well you get this film. See more Alexandre L 04/27/2023 Attention Spoilers. The protagonist does what she wants with the world around her. Yet another film with a weak plot that could have been made with neighborhood friends using an intermediary cell phone. Typical movie where the psychopath comes out cool and evil wins. It lacked an ending where the deceived character turns around and wins the psychopath but the director must have lacked budget or laziness. Waste of time. See more 11/17/2021 Eh, it was okay. I'm not quite sure what the ending accomplished, though... Maybe I missed the meaning there. I'm not understanding the purpose behind the finale. What purposes were served there? If that had been made clear, I might have given the film an extra half star. See more @c0urtn3y 07/26/2021 i thought this was good! i liked the cast & i liked the story; i thought it was executed well. would totally watch it again. but i love the whole memory/dream psychosis type stuff so maybe that's why. See more 08/22/2020 Love Mark Strong. The problem is the script is a jigsaw puzzle with missing pieces. Why did Anna set John up? Was John proven innocent? John's wife is shown with two children. Where are they? Did his wife kill herself and the children? Anna's situation is also unclear. A very unsatisfactory script. See more 11/15/2018 Anna, seems too boring to watch, and ruins it's hopes at making a slight impression with audiences. See more Read all reviews
