Three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis returns to the screen for the first time in 8 years in this gripping family drama exploring the aftermath of political and personal violence. In Northern England, a middle-aged man (Sean Bean) leaves his suburban home to venture into the woods to visit his estranged hermit brother (Day-Lewis). Co-written by Day-Lewis with his son Ronan Day-Lewis in his directorial debut, Anemone is an emotional film about the ties between brothers, fathers, and sons.
"It’s the work of a young filmmaker. But it’s also very much the work of a genuine filmmaker, bursting with creativity and refining their vision in real time. To quote another member of this cineaste’s clan: Attention must be paid."
–David Fear, Rolling Stone
"“Anemone” is overwhelming in its presence, unmistakable in its promise, and marks Ronan Day-Lewis as a filmmaker unafraid to wade into subjects—violence, faith, masculinity, and generational scars—that continue to shape and scar."
–Rodrigo Perez, The Playlist
"In his feature-directing debut, the younger Day-Lewis gives the dense Irish woodlands a claustrophobic majesty and elicits a furiously magnetic performance from his father. That the performance feels bigger than the film that contains it hardly matters."
