Talk about a movie premise that we can relate to, but don’t want to be able to relate to at all. His Three Daughters, the upcoming Netflix film, feels as though it’s about to pull every emotion that we’ve long suppressed right out of us. All of the emotions that we have compartmentalized from so many things in life may just find their way to the surface.
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.
Starring in the movie are Natasha Lyonne, Elizabeth Olsen, Carrie Coon, Rudy Galvan, Jose Febus, Jasmine Bracey, with Jay O. Sanders and Jovan Adepo.
His Three Daughters will release in select theaters on September 6th and premiere on Netflix, September 20th. Will you be watching?
