Movie Review: 'Anemone' Lacks Plot
The film 'Anemone' marks the directorial debut of Ronan Day-Lewis, who also co-wrote the screenplay with his father, Daniel Day-Lewis. The movie stars Daniel Day-Lewis as Ray Stoker, a hermit living in a forest in England in the eighties.
The story takes 45 minutes to unfold, with Ray's brother, Jem Stoker (played by Sean Bean), attempting to rekindle their family bond by visiting him. Despite the unique father-son collaboration, the movie is slow-moving and lacks a substantial plot.
Can an actor receive direction from his son?
This question is posed as Daniel Day-Lewis takes direction from his son Ronan in this dramatic feat. While 'Anemone' may not be a successful debut, it is noted that Ronan Day-Lewis may improve as a director and screenwriter with time.
Author's summary: Slow-paced drama with lacking plot.
- Director: Ronan Day-Lewis
- Starring: Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Bean
- Setting: England, eighties
