What to Know

Critics Consensus

While Inventing Anna is as tonally wobbly as Julia Garner's intentionally daffy accent, her committed performance and the salacious story make for juicy entertainment.

Liz Shannon Miller Consequence One of the most fascinating series of the year so far, playing right into our collective loves of gossip and scandal because Rhimes knows exactly what shes doing. Mar 19, 2022 Full Review Alissa Wilkinson Vox What’s the point? In the case of Inventing Anna, the answer is some ethically muddled, bizarrely patronizing mumbo-jumbo about how women are punished for doing things that men get away with. Okay? Is that all? Mar 18, 2022 Full Review Alessa Dominguez BuzzFeed News In trying to make the show about gossip and the media, Inventing Anna actually misses whatever it is that Anna herself was up to and rather focused on what she thought she was doing. Instead of adding complexity, it just comes off as muddled. Mar 4, 2022 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut Inventing Anna is a fun, suspenseful, and highly addictive ride. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 5, 2022 Full Review Alexandra MacAaron Women's Voices for Change Julia Garner, two-time Emmy winner, disappears into the enigma wrapped in a riddle (wrapped in Chanel) that is Anna, a complex woman on a protracted crime spree. Between the sets and costumes and the story’s sheer audacity, it’s great fun to watch. Rated: 8/10 Aug 24, 2022 Full Review Juan Carlos Galindo El Pais (Spain) An irrestistible story....

Isabella M Could have been a great story but the execution was poor. I struggled to watch it, would not recommend. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Richard S This show was totally fascinating. Very well acted. Beautiful cinematography and music selection. How is this rated so low? It was thoroughly enjoyable and all-the-more so because it's based on a true story. It really takes the audience on a journey from the perspective of the main character journalist lady, discovering answers about Anna, and at some times discovering more questions than answers. It's also fascinating for the audience to dive into the mind of Anna. Was she legit or a fraud? Either way, what motived her to do the things that she did? The non-sequential story-telling was done excellently and the ending was satisfying Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Eduarda O Um arregaço. Sei que tem a galera que fala que é romantização de criminosos e seus respectivos crimes, mas porra: OLHA O QUE ESSA MENINA FEZ!! inteligente para cacete e tão jovem. Uma arrombada? claro que sim, mas nem por isso é menos incrível o planejamento dela, todos os rolos, todos os roubos, todas as falsificações e tudo usando apenas sua carinha meiga e branca. Se não tivesse de ter a verificação do dinheiro na conta, conseguiria um empréstimo de 20 milhões de dólares, se fizesse isso, pagaria a todos os que deu calote e ninguém saberia que algum dia ela fodeu com todo mundo. Sua maior preocupação é se as pessoas notariam sua genialidade e competência e, tem como não? Na cabeça dela, é uma empreendedora fazendo o possível por seu projeto. As partes que pensei que seriam ficção, na verdade eram reais, e fico cada vez mais perplexa. A série, em momento algum, vitimizou ela e mostrou muito bem ambos os lados da história. Inacreditável que essa menina realmente exista. Mas sinceramente? Aquela grana não faria falta para quem tem dinheiro até socado no cu. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Michael D In Inventing Anna, Julia Garner shines as she embodies the real-life tale of Anna Delvey, a Russian immigrant who arrives in New York with dreams of achieving the American Dream. Embracing the mantra of 'Fake it till you make it,' Anna comes tantalizingly close to realizing her ambitions. However, her downfall ultimately stems from her outlandish demeanor. The series proves to be thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable, offering a fascinating glimpse into Anna's wild journey. What's even more astonishing is that this unbelievable story is based on real events. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/12/24 Full Review Rachel The main character is intolerable. She is so unwatchable and straight-up manipulates and harasses people into giving her her way. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/24 Full Review Sam W This show was so easy to not like. It's so apparent that Anna did what she is being accused of. But the way she got away with it is just so .. unrealistic? Not sure if that's the right word to use here but there's just no way that she fooled and stole from ALL of the people like that. Like did no one actually research the girl or her family? This rich Daddy that cut her off? So just cause she throw tantrums, literally, and walks around in designer clothes you're just going to say she good for thousands of dollars? I just don't like the character and the bratty attitude. As if she's not legit scamming people out of millions of dollars and then blaming them for not supporting her dream … is insanium.
