FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://movieswetextedabout.com/anniversary-movie-review-when-political-ideologies-tear-the-perfect-family-apart/ "Anniversary is an engaging, high-voltage thriller that explores the gradually shocking transformation of a happy family into a destructive and self-destructive force, all due to socio-political ideologies. With a luxury cast delivering memorable performances, Jan Komasa gives us a narrative that subverts expectations with genuinely powerful twists and an atmosphere of growing discomfort that lingers long after the credits roll. It's a story meant to be debated, analyzed, and one that forces us to confront how fragile our collective is. It's a call for reflection: in the end, what defines who we are isn't the flag we wave, but the line we draw between our convictions and respect for human dignity." Rating: B+
