Daniel Day-Lewis returns to acting after an eight-year hiatus, delivering a tour-de-force performance as Ray Stoker, a troubled recluse living in the woods, whose estranged brother arrives to convince him to rejoin his family. The film's cinematography and performances are widely praised, but its screenplay is criticized for being overly symbolic and pretentious, robbing the audience of an emotional connection with the characters.
