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 stepsisters, 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.

David Jenkins Little White Lies [Azazel Jacobs's] Three Daughters is closer to a Bergmanesque chamber drama in which coiled bitterness and petty recrimination are never far from tipping into the domestic discourse. Rated: 4/5 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times The searing movie — starring Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen and Natasha Lyonne at their emotional best — will resonate with anyone, especially people with siblings. Rated: 4/4 Sep 18, 2024 Full Review Lindsey Bahr Associated Press Taken together, it’s a pressure cooker and a wonderful showcase for three talented actors. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 17, 2024 Full Review Cole Groth FandomWire With three stellar leading performances and one of the best recent supporting roles, His Three Daughters is an uncommonly touching film, a brilliant addition to Netflix’s catalog, and something very worthy of a watch. Rated: 8/10 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Travis Hopson Punch Drunk Critics His Three Daughters is a deeply human and rewarding examination of those bonds and how they persist even after one is gone. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 19, 2024 Full Review Ben Wasserman Film-Forward.com With three stellar performances under one roof, His Three Daughters is a fantastic acting showcase for Coon, Lyonne, and Olsen’s talents, and a clear Oscar candidate once Netflix begins courting the Academy.

Steven C Although it's a little "stagey" (felt like I was watching a play), the acting is top-notch and it's well-written. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Terri Despite reviews citing the great acting, I thought Carrie Coons and Elizabeth Olsen were so obviously acting throughout (and I like both those actresses). I thought the ending was weird and unclear and while some truths about a death vigil were accurately portrayed, the hospice guy was an obvious foil but all in all, very little comedy. if the ending was going to use the dad in that way, the monologue could have been much better. Sadly, did not love. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review PAUL Fischer Absolutely stunning film poignant at times dryly amusing performances by all three actresses. A film about sisterhood, death and life. One of the best films of the year. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Marlene May Superbly acted and poignantly written, this movie feels like its captured the real life difficulty of coming to terms with a dying parent as experienced by battling siblings with widely different approaches to life and their fathers impending death. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Linda B The characters interaction was excellent.. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review hailey I loved it! Amazing performances!
