Not everybody holds a good relationship with their sisters, but ideally, we get to reunite and repair things in a good time. Unfortunately, for some families, the only time they reunite is due to a parent nearly dying. This is the case in His Three Daughters, where the three sisters meet after years living apart. It’s a common plotline, mostly depicted in the feel-good, family friendly variation, but writer-director Azazel Jacobs makes the three sisters distinct by taking the easy assumptions many people would make about them, and naturally push them to reveal the opposite. Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen form a great trio, delivering equally excellent performances under the same roof.
Synopsis
Emotions run high when three estranged sisters reunite in a cramped New York City apartment to watch over their ailing father during his final days.
Storyline
After their father falls ill, three estranged sisters return to his New York apartment to care for him in his final three days. Katie takes charge of the proceedings with a controlling demeanor, free-spirited Christina feels anxious about being separated from her kid for the first time, and their half-sister Rachel deals with the death by getting stoned and betting on sports.
TLDR
Thank you Azazel Jacobs, for bringing Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne, and Elizabeth Olsen together to maximize their t slay.
What stands out
With their differences, it's understandable that the sisters would clash, but what plenty of films rush is the healing process. This film devotes equal time to both laying out the resentments and honestly, truly mending them.
Good
Unbelievably boring. Maybe this is a matter of taste but Natasha Lyonne is a bad actor.
How can you put this in comedy, i mean it is a great movie, walks us through a difficult situation in life but there no comedy in it
