What could pull Daniel Day-Lewis out of retirement? Having his son Ronan direct the script they co-wrote may have helped, but it’s certainly the opportunity to get his teeth into the haunting, haunting monologues in this dark drama that did the trick. Standing up to three-time Oscar winner Sean Bean, Jim heads into the backwoods to find his ex-soldier brother Ray (Day-Lewis), a depressed off-the-grid character who abandoned his partner (Samantha Morton) and unborn son 20 years ago.
