Following the historical details, the film turned them into a John Le Carré-esque spy novel, setting the audience's breath in the old London city landscape.
-"The Hollywood Reporter"
The movie itself may not be as interesting as Emmerich's determination to completely transform and break with the past, but it is also worth watching. Although this is a film written by a screenwriter first-John Orloff's script and the same lines are the most important, but Emmerich’s calm, classic and traditional scheduling method is also amazing, and it matches the film’s rigorous costume setting. It's perfect.

Except for the funny and absurd pleasure, "Anonymous", like its name, proves nothing.
——Time Out New York
Emmerich’s film is a sporadic and occasionally funny botched work, not worthy of the high-quality performance of its actors. The despicable villain played by Hogg oozes cold and rustling.
——"Village Sound"
The exquisitely crafted garbage will make those who don't know William Shakespeare breathe, and those who know William Shakespeare will sneer.
