'The Anniversary': Goosebumps and chills . . .

Posted by Billy Wonka on October 30, 2025 at 15:16:59:
It doesn't take long before the onslaught of totalitarianism affects every character and scene on the screen. It all begins with the Taylors' 25th anniversary. We meet mostly overachievers, except for their sole son, who is married to his mom's past student and academic rival. Liz has written a book, "The Change", that has set in motion a national transformation towards a uniparty (totalitarian) government. We see the degrees of change in the subsequent timeline of family events, and it gave me goosebumps and chills.

I found this to be political, Roarshoch, since the changing national tide could be seen as turning to the right or left. The results were the same.

This film gets more uncomfortable with each ensuing scene. It will take some grit to see this all the way through.
