Anemone15

Directed by Ronan Day-Lewis | UK | 2025 | 2h 6m | Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sean Bean, Samuel Bottomley, Paul Butterworth, Karl Cam

In Northern England, a former soldier living a reclusive life in the woods is suddenly reunited with his estranged brother. Bound by a complicated and mysterious past, they must confront their painful upbringing and reckon with the paths their lives have taken. Three-time Oscar winner Daniel Day-Lewis returns to the screen for the first time in eight years in this gripping family drama, exploring lives shaped by the legacies of political and personal violence.

Reviews

‘Its two central performances pair perfectly. Bean is subtle, reactive, intuitive, funny, while Day-Lewis is every bit the marvel you remember: every gesture, every glance, every twinkle comes freighted with wiry intention.’
★★★★
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph

‘A powerful story about father and sons, told by a father and son. At once a showcase for a monumental talent, and the arrival of an exciting new one.’
★★★★
Ian Freer, Empire Magazine

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
