The Lost Daughter

An uncomfortably vulnerable portrait of an aged woman who struggles with motherhood, being compellingly artful despite not having a cathartic arc. Close shots reflect the anxiety & discomfort of the MC & the way she watches strangers from afar feels so natural and engaging…

tragic but so fucking good and also weird and paul mescal jump scare

excellent movie with amazing acting. the ending kinda threw me off but it was good. nothing better than a main character that’s not all goodness and happiness.

The common theme in The Lost Daughter is mothers who see their children as a burden. There is a constant unease and a sense of dread in the film. For me it left too much unspoken and in the end I felt left in the dark. The buildup wasn’t quite worth the reward.
6/10

Everyone is a bad person in this 🤣 I didn’t really care about these characters tbh, some people shouldn’t have kids
