Boring feminist drivel. Started off well but second half was very preachy. The two lead actors though were talented.Written on Oct 22 2007

More Information About Anon
Description
Anon is the story of Trip and Allison, who meet in a chance encounter when he hires her as a therapist for his cat. Little do they realize that they'll end up thrust into an intense relationship in which their desire to save each other and themselves may become mutually exclusive. It's a thought-provoking and darkly funny examination of just how hard and absurd love can be in today’s world.
