Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics. If you loved Notes on a Scandal or The French Lieutenant's Woman, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood
Warm and romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 48 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

In Imperial Russia, Anna, wife of the officer Karenin, goes to Moscow to visit her brother. On the way, she meets charming cavalry officer Vronsky, to whom she's immediately attracted. But in St. Petersburg’s high society, a relationship like this could destroy a woman’s reputation.
