Overview
- Lionsgate releases Anniversary in U.S. theaters on Wednesday, October 29, 2025.
- Directed by Jan Komasa and co-written with Lori Rosene-Gambino, the film stars Diane Lane, Kyle Chandler, Dylan O’Brien, Phoebe Dynevor, McKenna Grace and Zoey Deutch.
- Critics describe a domestic drama that uses one family to mirror a national slide into a no‑party order sparked by a bestseller called The Change.
- Reviewers widely praise Lane and Chandler’s work, noting that much of the ensemble is underused.
- The central critique targets the screenplay’s lack of specificity about The Change and how its ideology gains and exercises power, even as themes of free speech and censorship are foregrounded.
