The Daughter (2015)
7/10
A wonderful selection of Australian actors but the script?
4 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Diane and I saw this film several days ago at the Luna on Essex and it had nearly the largest audience I have ever seen at the theatre so the word must have gotten out about the quality of this movie. As I implied in my summary I was underwhelmed by the script. This is not to say that the picture was negative in any way but it was for me. Diane followed the twists of the script far better than I so her end satisfaction exceeded mine greatly. On the other hand, the actors followed the script beautifully, and those collection of actors were truly marvelous. Given that the actors were so good: Sam Nell, Geof. Rush, Miranda Otto, Odessa Young, Paul Schneider and my personal favourite, Ewen Leslie.

After reading the fulsome comments submitted by other commentators I am embarrassed at my poor overall opinion of this film; they and Diane understood the film better than I so please make your own evaluation.
