Description

Anemone is a 2025 psychological drama that marks two singular events in one film: the feature directorial debut of the painter and filmmaker Ronan Day-Lewis, and the return of his father, Daniel Day-Lewis, to acting after the three-time Oscar winner announced his retirement following 2017's Phantom Thread. Father and son co-wrote the screenplay, and the result is a brooding, elliptical study of masculinity, guilt, and brotherhood released by Focus Features.

Daniel Day-Lewis plays Ray Stoker, a former soldier living as a hermit deep in a remote English forest, cut off from the world by the weight of his past. Sean Bean plays his brother Jem, who treks out to find him carrying a letter from Ray's wife Nessa (Samantha Morton) pleading with him to come home and reconnect with their son. As the brothers circle one another, the film excavates Ray's haunted history during the Troubles in Northern Ireland, trading conventional plot for mood, memory, and the charged silences between two men who share everything and understand little.

Premiering at the New York Film Festival, Anemone drew a divided critical response, but sustained attention for Day-Lewis's return and Ben Fordesman's painterly cinematography. It is available to rent or buy through authorized digital retailers in the United States; availability varies by region.

It's a Christmas time of 2004. An ordinary British family Henry (Ewan McGregor) and Maria (Naomi Watts) visits Thailand on vacations with their three children: Lucas, who is just turned 7, and his younger brothers Simon and Thomas (children are played by Tom Holland, Oaklee Pendergastand and Samuel Joslin, accordingly). As they reach the Thai hotel, their family suit is upgraded to villa, a horrible decision, as it turns after. They are exchanging some Christmas gifts and heading to the coastline the morning after. Nothing has presaged a catastrophe. But meanwhile the terrible roar is heard from the seaside, and, in the moment, a giant wave of Tsunami covers the shoreline with all the tourists on it, including Henry, Maria and their beloved children. The wave is crashing trees, houses, cars, throwing human bodies to right and left. In a few seconds it appears that Henry, Simon and Thomas were picked up by the strong current and wiped to the inner part of land while Maria and Lucas are struggling for their survive in the roaring waves full of fallen tries which strike them inflicting terrible wounds, and making "the happy end" for them almost impossible. The movie, filmed by Juan Antonio Bayona, an outstanding Spanish director and producer, keeps us on the toes these first 20 minutes. The super-realistic 3D sound of imminent Tsunami is awesome, the pictures of scorched post-Tsunami landscape are phenomenally affecting, and the rest of the story based on true life events is very touchable and tragic.
