For this week’s second podcast review, Josh Parham and Dan Bayer join me to review and discuss the directorial debut of Ronan Day-Lewis, “Anemone,” starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Bean, and Samantha Morton. Co-written with his son, the 3-time Academy Award-winning legendary actor Daniel Day-Lewis came out of “retirement” to star in his son’s first feature film. The film tells the original story of a troubled recluse whose estranged brother arrives to convince him to come home and reunite with his family. It premiered at the New York Film Festival to mixed reviews, but what did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the performances, direction, writing, cinematography, soundscape, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
