Anemone Ratings & Reviews
- Kodey Patterson14h agoOne of the most boring movies I have ever seen.
- Richard ThorntonOctober 24, 2025Not as good as I hoped but better than I expected. I’m gay.
- Paul CarpenterOctober 22, 2025A contemplative, slow reveal of a man who is tortured by life, and the torture he then inflicts on the people around him. Quiet, brooding but also tense and unsettling. Beautiful cinematography and sound, with lingering shots that force you to examine the imagery. The antithesis of most films released these days, it feels so different when we expect jump cuts every three seconds and constant camera changes during dialog. The acting from the four primary characters was exceptional, grounded and real with the true pain of regret visible in each word and glance. Well worth the watch.
- Nerd flixOctober 21, 2025must see
- Gianni CavuotoOctober 7, 2025Thank you for making this motion picture. It's a real slow burn that is powerful and mighty. Ronan takes his time to let the story unfold and tell itself. Nothing is rushed, ever. The movie shows like reading a book, there are chapters and it's evident when a chapter is over. Sound is a really important part of this movie. The sound was so intelligently used in a way I have not seen before and will be evident only in good theaters that have really good sound systems. Can't wait for this to be released on DVD so I can watch it agian and agian. This should go down as one of Daniel's best performances and Ronan's first.....glad to see he is following in his mother's footsteps. Thank you Day-Lewis' for making this movie, Rebecca you must be so proud!!!
- justi7607October 7, 2025The film stagnates quite a bit all throughout but Daniel Day Lewis gives a mighty powerful performance in this claustrophobic feeling of a motion picture.
