FlixChatter Review: ANEMONE (2025) – Daniel Day-Lewis hasn’t lost his mastery & passion for his craft, as his son Ronan is still honing his directorial flair
Anemone will likely be known primarily as the comeback film for Daniel Day-Lewis after an 8-year self-imposed ‘retirement’ after he filmed Phantom Thread with PTA.

FlixChatter Review: ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER (2025) – A wild and funny rollercoaster ride with a stellar cast that rarely loses its rhythm
I must confess that I have a big blind spot in Paul Thomas Anderson’s work, as I've only watched three of his ten feature films: Punch-Drunk Love, Phantom Thread, and this one.
