Featured reviews
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.

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!

We saw this movie at an industry preview. Katie, Christina, and Rachel come together in their father's NYC apartment when he's at the end of life and in hospice care. They are very different souls, all well scripted and well-acted.
The eldest is intense and overbearing, the youngest is dissolute and (seemingly) aimless, the middle child moved to California and became the proto-Cali mom.
Conflict is rampant as the sisters try to negotiate their differences. The movie wanders through the dialogue among the three, the boyfriend of one (a great scene), and the recurring presence of the oddly unempathic hospice coordinator. It's talky and set almost entirely in the dad's apartment, but maintained my interest.
The movie ambles to a conclusion that's both surprising and subject to widely different interpretations that may not be to everyone's taste. I bought in, especially as it becomes clear which child was the father's favorite.
My main criticism is that the three sisters' characters borders on the stereotypical. Borders, but doesn't quite slide over the edge.

When 'His Three Daughters' began I was picking up what it was putting down. Three great actresses, all with unique and interesting characters to play, going at it for 100 minutes. Sign me up. Then through the middle the film lost steam. It stopped throwing new stuff at me and kept repeating stuff we'd already seen. I understand this is a very contained movie (was it based on a play? It felt like it but I didn't see that written anywhere) but you still have to have enough to justify the runtime.
Luckily the movie has a very strong ending. There is a truly great scene towards the end of the film. Almost a completely redeeming scene. They executed it so well and it really hits you like truck.
There's enough here to make a very presentable movie, I can't help feeling it was a stronger second act away from being something truly special however. 7/10.

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.
