Anemone
Directed by Ronan Day-Lewis
Middle-aged Jem sets out from his suburban home on a journey into the woods, where he reconnects with his estranged hermit brother Ray. Bonded by a mysterious, complicated past, the men share a fraught, if occasionally tender relationship—one that was forever altered by shattering events decades earlier. From TMDB

I just scrolled past a trailer on Instagram, too quickly to register more than the stars’ names and the title, and my brain fully scoffed “Men can’t star in a movie called ANEMONE.” What?? Why?? Why can’t they??

neutral · AI labelView post →ANEMONE marks a grand actorly return for Daniel Day-Lewis, but the film itself is too meandering and expressionist to say anything divisive. My #NYFF63 review via @screendaily.bsky.social.
neutral · AI labelView post →Anemone review – Daniel Day-Lewis is endlessly watchable as ex-soldier living with guilt. It is a pleasure to see Day-Lewis back on screen, and he dominates a movie of big scenes and big performances, co-written with and directed by his son

neutral · AI labelView post →Ronan Day-Lewis might make a great film someday, if the flourishes of “Anemone” are anything to go by. He hasn’t quite found himself, but as Daniel Day-Lewis’s return after 8 years—in one of his more gut-wrenching, vulnerable roles—it’s worthwhile. #NYFF63 observer.com/2025/10/nyff...
neutral · AI labelView post →Anemones are so much more than just a home for Nemo! *Also, I’ll save you two hours of watching a boring drama - the 2025 movie called “Anemone” with Daniel Day Lewis and Sean Bean has absolutely nothing to do with marine anemones!

neutral · AI labelView post →Sunday aft. movie - Anemone. Directed by Ronan Day-Lewis, written by Ronan & Daniel Day Lewis. DDL returns to acting after 8 years. The movie's visuals are stunning. It is a story about the troubles in Ireland, abandonment, violence, pain. Acting is excellent. We liked it. Solid 1st time effort.

positive · AI labelView post →#MovieReview: #Anemone. It's nice to see Daniel Day-Lewis back because he really is an amazing actor. That said, aside from his wonderful performance, the film has little else to offer. There’s a decent story here, but it just takes WAY too long to reach its predictable conclusion. #Filmsky

neutral · AI labelView post →Now off to see "Anemone"! 🌼 Other than the fact that Daniel Day-Lewis has unretired to be in this movie, I don't know anything else about it. I suppose that "retiring" in Hollywood is about as permanent as it is in music. #Filmsky #Anemone
neutral · AI labelView post →Anemone I felt a bit mixed on this one. The performances were great and I loved a lot of the camera work, however I wasn't entirely grabbed by this movie. I wanted to sit on this movie a bit before adding it to the media thread, and I think that I've liked the movie more with some hindsight
