Movie Review: 'Anemone'
'Anemone' is a film that struggles to find its plot, despite its promising premise.
The movie is directed by Ronan Day-Lewis, who also co-wrote the screenplay with his father, Daniel Day-Lewis, the film's star.
Set in 1980s England, the story follows Ray Stoker (played by Daniel Day-Lewis), a hermit living in a forest, whose brother Jem Stoker (played by Sean Bean) attempts to reconnect with him.
The film's pace is slow, with little plot development until 45 minutes in, making for a challenging viewing experience.
He may be a better director (and screenwriter) in time.
Overall, 'Anemone' is a debut effort from Ronan Day-Lewis that shows potential, but ultimately falls short.
Author's summary: Daniel Day-Lewis stars in his son's directorial debut.
