Movie Review: Bleak family drama ‘Anemone’ brings the great Daniel Day-Lewis back in from the coldBy Canadian Press on October 1, 2025. Somehow, he makes it more fascinating than revolting — but it’s a Herculean task, something Day-Lewis the actor is obviously no stranger to. We soon learn that both Ray and brother Jem (Sean Bean) were British soldiers, veterans of the early days of the Northern Ireland troubles. The artistic parallels are a little too neat to ignore — a son bringing Day-Lewis the actor back into view, for the benefit of us all. “Anemone,” a Focus Films release, has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association “for language throughout.” Running time: 121 minutes.
