Roadside Attractions and Lionsgate have released the official trailer for Anniversary, a gripping political thriller directed by acclaimed Polish filmmaker Jan Komasa (Corpus Christi, Suicide Room). With a star-studded cast led by Diane Lane and Kyle Chandler, the film delves into the psychological fallout of ideological division within a family—and a country—on the brink.
Set in a sharply polarized modern America, Anniversary follows Ellen and Paul Taylor (Lane and Chandler), a seemingly stable couple whose world begins to unravel with the return of Ellen’s former student, Liz (played by Bridgerton breakout Phoebe Dynevor). Now romantically involved with their son (Dylan O'Brien), Liz brings with her the volatile influence of “The Change,” a rising political movement disrupting the national landscape. As Liz integrates into the family, her presence triggers emotional fault lines, turning intimate dinner table debates into all-out ideological warfare.
The ensemble cast includes Madeline Brewer, Zoey Deutch, Mckenna Grace, and Daryl McCormack, each adding to the film's layered portrayal of generational and political tension. With a screenplay by Lori Rosene Gambino, based on a story by Gambino and Komasa, Anniversary explores how personal relationships become collateral damage in the battle for control, belief, and identity in uncertain times.
Visually sleek and emotionally intense, the trailer hints at a slow-burning narrative that blends domestic drama with political urgency. Komasa’s talent for dissecting complex social movements through a human lens is on full display, promising a film that’s as much about family as it is about the fractured state of modern society.
Anniversary hits theaters on October 29, 2025—just in time to stir discussion during the final stretch of the U.S. election season, positioning itself as both a cinematic thriller and a timely cultural commentary.
