His Three Daughters
15
Three estranged sisters, played by Carrie Coon, Natasha Lyonne and Elizabeth Olsen, are brought together to watch over their father in his final days. In the intimate environment of a New York apartment, we see both the tense and humorous elements of their family dynamic in this honest, moving drama.
We were keen to hear more about this insightful film from the director, Azazel Jacobs, so Wendy caught up with him for a Q&A. You can watch a recording of this on the big screen after the film.

“Anchored by three of the best performances in a very long time and a graceful script from Jacobs himself, this is one of the finest films of the year, a movie that moves me so much that I can get emotional just thinking about it. Because it’s not just a showcase for powerhouse acting at its finest. Because it feels true in ways that movies about death are rarely allowed to be.”

“Thanks to Jacobs’ extraordinary ear for how people use words to wound and mask, and a holy trinity that knows not only how to speak those words but how to complement one another’s disparate performing styles, His Three Daughters ends up being nothing less than the single best movie you’ll likely see this year.”
