Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Too formlessly turgid.

The acting is what makes this picture worth framing.

The best thing that one can say about The Anniversary Party is that it raises more questions about its central characters than it can possibly answer -- which may weaken it as a drama but not as a search for truth.
– Jonathan Rosenbaum,

rotten:
The result is something like being stuck at an audition for someone else's play, which you haven't read, won't invest in, and don't care too much about.
– Stephen Hunter,

fresh:
What distinguishes The Anniversary Party from the movies/lives that inspired it is the dead-on quality of much of the writing and acting.
