Anthem tells the story of Luke (Monaghan) a teenager who foresees the death of his new best friend Stan (MacNicoll), the most popular guy in school. When this premonition becomes reality, Luke must deal with the trials and tribulations of being dubbed "The Prophet of Death" and being titled a freak by the entire town. It doesn't help that he's fallen in love with Faith (List) who just happens to be Stan's girl or that he's on the outs with his childhood best friend Fang (Grayson Gabriel) or that the premonitions just keep coming - In a story that expertly navigates that often rocky, at times inspiring road to adulthood, Anthem authentically balances the teenage experience of confusion, anxiety and rage with those exceptional moments of clarity, self discovery and human connection. Hormonal, funny, exhilarating and wise, Anthem slyly explores the need to belong, the isolation of youth and the powerful brew of fear truth and noise that plays inside us all.

Nothing much at all happens in this movie. as for his premonitions there are only about 3 in the whole film. it's not really about that. it's more about his boring day to day life. i really can't say much in favour of this movie but the acting was good. story line pathetic.

When the overall story is weak, actors could only do so much. I liked the message in the end hence 5 stars out of 10.

I just saw this movie. It was very good! Cameron Monaghan is superb and cute as the main character Luke Hunter, a sensitive, normal teenage boy who begins having vivid premonitions of individuals' deaths. Juliette Lewis is also great as Luke's mom. This movie had such a heart-warming mother-son relationship! We need more close attachments such as this one portrayed on screen. I found the movie to be very meaningful with its theme of death and looking out for each other. It keeps you wondering , and unlike most adolescent cinema, it is not all darkness and loneliness. Satisfying, with a message of wisdom!

Love this movie, so well written, acted & directed. While dark at times, this movie leaves you inspired and uplifted! To boot, a great learning opportunity for parents to watch with their teenagers!

Rather a slog for the first hour and a half but it comes together somewhat in the final 15 minutes. Too little--too late, as I see it. Juliette Lewis, as usual, brings lots of life to the screen in her role. Overall, the plot and the characters here are too disjointed and not developed enough to have the dramatic impact it might have had. To note: there were no subtitles available on my DVD copy.

This film perfectly captures the early meta-years so many hold so dear. the performance from peyton was outstanding, and truly one which came from the heart and resonates with you there. I felt so deeply the lose, and even more so at his predictions. I loved this film and its ability to speak directly to a zeitgeist idea, and upholds those ideal all the same in its structure, I am very impressed.

Great music, taking us back to the 90's Sweet story of love, friendship and the mystical. Reminds me of the Rumblefish or Wanderers era Cameran Monaghan is great and Juliette Lewis reminds us why we love her so much.

I really enjoyed everything about thus film. I LOVED Cameron Monaghan & Juliette Lewis as his mom. The girl lead was incredible. The acting across the board was so good, the story was so real it felt at times like I was back in the 90s hanging with my little brother & his friends. I also LOVED the soundtrack! Kudos to the music supervisor! Great film!

Anthem brought a fresh take on the YA genre. The performances were superb and the characters very well-rounded. Highly recommend!
