Synopsis
From writer-director Azazel Jacobs (French Exit, The Lovers) comes this bittersweet and often funny story of an elderly patriarch and the three grown daughters who come to be with him in his final days. Katie (Carrie Coon) is a controlling Brooklyn mother dealing with a wayward teenage daughter; free-spirited Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) is a different kind of mom, separated from her offspring for the first time; and Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) is a sports-betting stoner who has never left her father’s apartment — much to the chagrin of her half-sisters, who share a different mother and worldview. Continuing his astute exploration of family dynamics in close-knit spaces, Jacobs follows the siblings over the course of three volatile days, as death looms, grievances erupt, and love seeps through the cracks of a fractured home.
Reviews
Brian Tallerico in a RogerEbert.com review praised the film, calling it one of the best dramas he’s ever seen in a long time, writing “This is a major accomplishment, a moving film that understands death’s complexity and shifting nature. ‘His Three Daughters’ is deceptively simple in how it conveys how loss doesn’t just leave a vacuum; it can forever alter the perceptions of the people who are left.”
Katey Rich in a Vanity Fair review praised director Azazel Jacobs’ directing, writing “‘His Three Daughters’ finds cinematic power not just in its intimacy – Lyonne’s silent movie star eyes have rarely evoked so much – but with Jacobs’s careful camera, building a fully realized world within these weathered apartment walls.”
