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

intimate and riveting. hard to watch. made a lot more sense once I learned this is based off of a lit fic novel
