Ses trois filles

The film begins with Katie, portrayed by Carrie Coon, trying to convince her sister Rachel, played by Natasha Lyonne, that their father is dying and it's time to step up and take responsibility for him. Katie believes that what's happened in the past should stay in the past, and now they need to come together for their father in his final days. Their other sister, Christina, played by Elizabeth Olsen, is emotionally unraveling as she witnesses their father's deteriorating condition. After a heartfelt conversation, the sisters agree to put aside their differences and stay together by their father's deathbed, giving their dysfunctional family one more chance, for the sake of their father. This is the core premise of His Three Daughters.

Each of the three sisters has a distinct personality. Katie, seemingly the eldest, is constantly worried and often critical of Rachel, her adopted sister, particularly because of Rachel's struggles with addiction. On the other hand, Christina is the most caring and gentle, showing compassion to everyone around her. By now, you've probably guessed the tone of this film. It's a slow-paced drama that takes its time, with long scenes and lots of dialogue. Most of the movie happens inside one house, with just a few characters talking to each other. For a movie like this, the acting really needs to shine, or it can easily lose the audience's attention. Luckily, that's not an issue here. The cast does an amazing job, completely owning their roles and bringing real emotion to the screen. Each actor gets their character, and they stick to it, making sure the movie stays interesting even during the quieter moments.

I love dysfunctional family movies-they're my favorite genre. The last one I watched like this was Marriage Story, and I absolutely loved it. This movie, though, was just okay for me. It's not a masterpiece, but it's not bad either. It's a decent film that tells the story it wants to tell and does it well enough. But unlike Marriage Story, it's not something I'd call a favorite or feel the need to watch over and over again. But that's just me. This movie is getting a lot of praise worldwide, and people who love this kind of film are really into it. If you're not into slow-paced movies, you might find it a bit boring, but it's still worth giving a shot. Honestly, it's a great movie to watch on a cold, rainy night, snuggled up under a blanket. Definitely worth checking out.

This is more of a play than a film. It's talky and claustrophobic, to the point that when at last it moves to an outside scene, you almost feel like you're breathing in cold fresh air.

Interest is sustained throughout, not so much by way of events, as by the interactions of the three very different sisters, and the few peripheral characters that surround them. Dealing with the impending death of a parent, this will (maybe) touch a nerve with some, and give others more fortunate (maybe) an insight to the dynamics to be expected. But I did not find it at any time morose or Maudling or over emotional, the occasionally amusing scenes kept it in check.

My only criticism was near the end, where a 10 minutes or so scene, could/should have been omitted IMO. For me it just interrupted the flow and broke the rhythm of the previous hour+.

I love small chamber films where the key elements are acting, the script, and masterful direction. Such films resemble theatrical plays and usually capture the viewer's attention from the very beginning, holding it until the end.

«HIS THREE DAUGHTERS» is just such a film.

This is a wonderful family drama with brilliant performances by all three main actresses. Seriously, I think they all deserve at least an Oscar nomination. They are the main reason why this movie turned out so well; their chemistry on screen is just off the charts.

Additionally, the skillfully written script, excellent dialogue, and the development of each sister make the on-screen action incredibly interesting and exciting. Each main character is completely different, with her own life and unique problems that the viewer begins to understand throughout the film. It is impossible not to sympathize with each sister; every character is well-crafted, compelling, and powerfully portrayed!

I give my highest recommendations to all lovers of chamber films and powerful acting.

8/10

P. S. Elizabeth Olsen is a Goddess!

I really wish those making movies would consult medical personnel before making a movie. This movie is solid when it comes to family relations and how the stress of losing a loved one brings out the silent and unsaid. However, from a medical aspect, hospice patients sign a document stating what their wishes are when doing the paperwork with hospice. The hospice medical director signs off on it, so that made some scenes unnecessary. Also, there are no cardiac monitors, no IVs with hospice, and nurses do not come and sit at the bedside because time is money in healthcare. (We wish we could spend that time). Besides that, this movie reflects real life, it is entertaining, and does not include the standard forced Hollywood social indoctrination. So, thank you, for just entertaining the audience.

A lovely and beautiful movie about bonds and sisterhood, it makes you think twice about your sister and you can always do better.

This movie shows real sisters that you need to treat your sister better because you don't know the struggles she is facing, you literally dont know your sister darling.

So dont take for granted you relationship with your family ok, this movie has amazing performances by the three leads specially Natasha (she is my choices in the oscars)

And of course the ending scenes are emotional and ignore the review saying that that was unnecessary, he is obviously no director 8/10

Another great movie this 2024.
