Anniversary - Watch the trailer now! In theaters October 29. Starring Diane Lane, Kyle Chandler, Madeline Brewer, Zoey Deutch, Phoebe Dynevor, Mckenna Grace,...

My wife and I watched this movie last night and we were speechless for twenty minutes. It’s breathtaking. The biggest question that came to my mind was this: How had I never heard of it.

I dare say this is by design. You can check the Wiki page on it’s production for more on this.

But more important: watch it. Start to finish. Start spreading it. I can’t think of anything more important than simply spreading this movie right now. For supporters of Bernie… it’s a slam dunk jaw dropper. But for MAGAs it’s a mirror. And that’s the most beautiful element.

I have no one to talk to about this movie, besides my wife, so please, if you have seen it, chime in.

    While I admit my first comment was a bit flippant, I was annoyed at the commenter’s… I’ll say it… conceited remarks. That they don’t need such paltry details see a film, that a mere wisp of a note of intrigue is enough, and that I, a lowly commoner, am wrong for even thinking such things as plot, or setting, or characters.

    Honestly your comment below: “In this gripping thriller…”, is what I think the post needed to show what the movie was about. Posting the clip is probably very meaningful if you’ve seen the movie, but for me who is deciding if I should see it, I have no context of what it is about. I shouldn’t have been flippant in my comment, my intention was more “if people are scrolling through and see this for a split second, we won’t know what the movie is about”, slightly encouraging OP to add some context - but it was the wrong way to do that.

      I regret this part of the thread went sideways. I was overly vague — I mentioned my wife and I were stunned into silence for twenty minutes. I’ll say here… we were stunned by the fluidity of a film that presented a horrific turn in American politics not happening sometime in the future or past but right now — we are literally ONE BOOK away from totalitarian despotism where anyone, even MAGAs can be murdered with impunity in their own homes.

      Please watch this movie.

      I hate to be relegated to cheerleader but this movie has been censored because it presents. Our situation coldly clearly and realistically. And it’s dire.

        nah don’t regret, we’re all good, I should have been less flippant too.

        After all of this, I am going to watch it. As a rule anything that’s minimized or shamed or generally “they” don’t want me to watch usually means I should go watch it. Although, as someone who is fully aware of what is happening right now, opening me up to that much anxiety makes me worry too, and I won’t lie after having several family dinners like that clip, I’m nervous… but I’ll trust you.
