Anastasia

Absolutely disgusting and disrespectful story about a poor girl who was brutally murdered with her whole family in her 17 years old. This is mockery of Russian history. Anastasia was canonized. This film disrespects our history, culture and religion. I am so enraged and frustrated by this.

This movie is a total disgrace to the whole cinematography world. It seems that in 2020 you can blame Russia for almost anything, but descending to the level when you literally start mocking its history and culture? This time you guys managed to cross the line. Absurd plot, bad (and I mean really bad) acting and a total disconnection from reality are just tip of the iceberg.

This is truly awful. Mix of attempts and non attempts for accents, really bad acting, graphics are horrendous especially for todays technology, The budget must have been so low... the random guy in the confusing suit looks like they slapped some felt onto his head. They didn't even try to make it the same colour. Some sound effects are incorrectly timed. Music is also too loud at times to hear people talk. I would go on but it would just cause more wasted time and I feel it's taken enough of that from me. One of those which is so bad you can't stop watching just to see if any talent kicks in.

This seemed interesting at first but it turned out to be one of the worst movies I've ever watched. Such a waste of time! How do I begin? The idea of a contemporary movie about the Romanovs fascinated me. The first ten minutes were really interesting but then the disaster began. How do you expect to get something good when you mix the 80s with old Russian history? This was a very low budget movie. The actress who was casted as Anastasia played so bad, her accent was so fake and gross! Don't forget Anastasia was a royal princess who really received education. Also, they really ruined the 80s era. What I've seen in the movie is nothing more than a cheap copy. The ending was so unrealistic. Next time when making such a film, read more about the history.

Tasteless doesn't even cover this. Regardless of your opinions of the Russian Revolution and casting disproven conspiracy theories aside, the historical fact remains that a young girl was killed alongside her family. To try to turn that into some kind saccharine feel-good family fantasy movie is very disrespectful. Why not just do an animated musical about Anne Frank if we're going to be so tasteless? Some subjects need to be treated with due gravity. This is the kind of story that should be done as a serious drama. If you want to make a family film about hope and friendship, fine, there are other tales that can be adapted, or better still, do something original. At some point whilst the idea for this was being pitched, someone should have had the lightbulb moment that this is a horrible idea. I can totally understand why people from Russia are so angered by this film.
