Even More Comments on Matthew's Performance in Anna Karenina

I've continued gathering the comments reviewers have to say about Matthew Macfadyen's memorable performance in Anna Karenina. Please see this previous post for even more reviews.

Cinevue
a welcome return to screens for Matthew Macfadyen

Front Row Reviews
Matthew Macfadyen (who plays Oblonsky, Anna’s brother with such comic conviction, it’s a welcome return to the big screen).

That Film Guy
Matthew Macfayden stands out, however, since Stiva is one of the few characters who’s consistently having fun, and he consequently has a lot of fun in the role, chewing scenery with aplomb.

I Heart The Talkies
while Matthew Macfadyen is well cast as Oblonsky.

London Evening Standard
Matthew Macfadyen is a hoot as the impenitent Oblonsky.

BBC Front Row Radio
and then Matthew Macfadyen gives this fantastically exhuberant performance as Anna's brother.
Matthew Macfadyen is particularly enjoyable

The First Darcylician's Review of Anna Karenina

Forum member, deebee, was fortunate to attend the screening of Anna Karenina today at the British Library.

The following are some of the comments that she shared in the forum, especially what she had to say about Matthew Macfadyen:

Don’t be late when you get to see it, as Matthew opens the show! We know he has a minor role as Stiva, but he was in it more than I had anticipated and his wonderful comic performance got bags of laughs from the audience. I absolutely loved it, but think it will divide audiences. It was so refreshing to see JW’s adaptation. It is illustrious. Beautiful. The cinematography and the costume design is really quite wonderful.

He plays Stiva like a very naughty little boy that deserves a good spanking. Except you cannot help but feel that he would probably enjoy that too.

Thank you deebee!
