  this kind of tore me up and ate me alive. raw and unflinching character studies on unlikable (or: realistic) women are always such a rare and welcome sub-genre but it’s like shooting in the dark to also portray motherhood specifically in such an unapologetically ugly light. good grief

  Review by Darren Carver-Balsiger ★★★★½ 36

  Bad people are complicated. There is something dark at the centre of The Lost Daughter, a film which viciously tears apart the idealism we often have about motherhood. It is a film of mothers, but not one of love. Instead we see a rot, mothers who find children a burden. The Lost Daughter is an uncomfortable movie, with a constant unease and sense of dread. We wait to be given answers, for characters to be uncovered and exposed, and yet they aren't. This is a film which asks us to look inside ourselves and see if we can understand why the characters do what they do. Different people will feel differently about the film. Some will relate to it more…

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Greatest movie moment of the past year is when Olivia Colman tells the kids talking during a movie that she’s going to cut their dicks off

  only the third best film that's set on a greek island and is about motherhood (the first and second are mamma mia and mamma mia: here we go again)

  Review by karsten ★★★½

  liked, didn’t love. thought about ‘passing’ a lot during this? both are debut features directed by actresses and distributed by netflix and feel like they’re missing something. despite some phenomenal performances going down in both. olivia colman is obviously great. paul mescal pushes the 5 inseam agenda in a promising direction. i loved how ugly and uncomfortable this was. just wish it didn’t scream “first time feature film” (cutting between flashbacks and present day? we’ve seen it all before!!!)
