So happy that movies like this are still being made. A familiar drama story that turns into one of, if not my favorite movie of the year so far. I just feel so protected by this movie because of the loveable sisters all around. Eventhough, i don't have a sister, i do relate to some of the conflicts that they faced when they were taking of their dying father. All three actresses are terrific but Natasha Lyonne was unexpectedly my favorite part of the whole movie. I don't kno their Oscar chances but i do hope that The Academy could take a look at this movie and considers for it's acting and screenplay for a nomination. The ending was a truly surprise too, the actor who played the dad only appeared at the end for like 5 minutes but god damn, he sold that role, it made me teared up throughout his whole speech about his three daughter. This was Elizabeth Olsen's first non MCU movie since 2018 and she deserves some awards for her work in this masterpiece I can see why Netflix spent $7 million to buy the rights of this movie from last year's TIFF and man, it was so worth it
I definitely agree with Christy especially in regards to the third act choice. But emotionally, it really won me over. After recently losing my grandmother these conversations between siblings felt so real and palpable I was almost instantly brought to tears.
Watched this last night and it’s one of those movies that sneaks up on you. I lost my father and my brothers and mom and I had to sit in a room and decide if we should disconnect from life support. We were all split on what to do. Everyone was arguing and I remember being silent and then walking out and taking a walk downtown in Asheville North Carolina. They had a 2 screen theater and I bought a ticket for the end of the tour. I cried and I prayed on what to do and I swear it was like my dad was there with me saying it’s ok. I knew he was gone already. I felt it. I went back to my family, they were looking for me. I told them that my dad was gone. They knew I was right.
Sam, thank you for sharing that story with us, and we're so sorry. Was the theater in Ashville The Grail Moviehouse, by chance? We know them and they're lovely folks.
I couldn't agree more, Christy. I was under the spell of this movie and then that creative choice in the third act was so bizarre. And right after they made the profound and affecting point about film best being able to depict death through absence! Why go against their own values?
Again, living for this. Former colleagues at LAT have told me, YOU MUST SEE, and, frankly, if you, Christy and Alonso, say even remotely similar, Am So There. We can all use some Chekhovian now. Love You Both, Thanks As Ever. ❤️❤️
@BreakfastAllDay Saw. As someone whose personal list of AIDS hospice inhabitants hit 80 in 1989 with the loss of the Flirtations' T.J. Myers -- and that before either The Partner or The Parent entered hospice -- was frankly devastated. The choice you two refer to dropkicked me in the gut -- magic realism the likes 9f which I haven't experienced since Joan Didion. Carrie Coons, 10 years ago, would be the perfect Hedda Gabler; Elizabeth Olsen has the trickiest role, her outburst was stunning; and Natasha Lyonne merits an Oscar nod, period. "Interiors" without the Bergman austerity, "Marvin's Room" without the cutes. Like "Women Talking" and "Mass" before it, would make an amazing play. Anyhow, it worked for me. Thanks as ever, Christy and Alonso. ❤❤
This movie annoyed me a lot but it also made me cry, and I can't fault any of the actresses (I think they're the reason any part of it worked). I hate watching movies at home and am curious how I would have responded to this in the theater... but the musical choice at the end, shall we say? It would not have won me over, and at the theater I could not have vocalized my displeasure. So there's that. I love your discussions whether I agree with you or not, and I think you do your job well by letting us know what to expect (without spoiling) and giving a good idea of whether something is worth checking out.
I thought the movie wasn't quite working (despite the strong acting) until it made that change towards the end. Without that, I'm not sure I would have come out of it viewing this movie positively.
I got a little annoyed with this movie and the acting. It screams I want an Oscar. I stopped after half an hour. Btw, I love Christy's ability to switch to ad placement. 😅
She does play herself but somehow always manages to shine whether in Russian Doll, Poker Face or Orange... Her presence and delivery just work for the characters she plays.
A great female lead cast but hearing you two discuss and the mediocre scores my interest just isn't there. I am curious to see what a "modest lower east side apartment" looks like.
I liked the movie but at times it felt like I was watching a play especially the end. I thought Carrie Coon gave the best performance in the film. I was not impressed by Lyonne at all. Olsen was a mixed bag.
His Three Daughters shows the harsh realities of sibling relationships in times of grief. I'd be really surprised and upset if all three actresses aren't nominated by critics groups and at the Oscars.

All three of these ladies deserve Oscar’s.
I've loved Elizabeth Olson ever since Martha Marcy May Marlene, really glad to see her in a serious drama again
8:44 I love her ad placement style!
Ha, thank you! We aim to entertain.
Great review! Excited to check out. And great job navigating around the spoilers ;)
Loved this movie, super interesting ending imo, they gave the dying father a role I didn't expect

So sorry to hear that, but hopefully this was comforting in some way.
@@BreakfastAllDay thank you! I didn’t believe in saying movies can be therapeutic, until I saw this one.
Cried like my parents died yesterday. Universal to all is the endless waiting.

@@BreakfastAllDay Thank you. It was the fine arts theater downtown asheville
Yayyyy 👏 was very sentimental for me, caused quite a confused reaction as to how I formulate my life after but I liked it. I identified with Rachel.

I didn't have a problem with the third act, I knew from the start that this was the Dad's dream before dying.
i completely agree with Christy about the tonal shift in the 3rd act.
This movie annoyed me a lot but it also made me cry, and I can't fault any of the actresses (I think they're the reason any part of it worked).

I just found out Ken Jacobs is Azazel Jacobs' dad.
LOL the coffee advertisement. /dismiss
Christy you've never seen Gilmore Girls? Say it ain't so. Gilmore Girls is awesome. You should start down the road to Stars Hollow soon as possible.
I can’t believe Christy, you haven’t watched Gilmore Girls!! That’s my big takeaway from this review 😂
I laughed at that Paris Geller reference haha, it was good.
@@tlovehater absolutely! That was so spot on by Alonso
@@raghuraj2967 😂
Are you going to review Good One?
Weird year for American Pie alumni, Mena Suvari is in Reagan and Natasha Lyonne is in an Oscar contender 🤔
Got my tickets for fog. 🎉😂
I thought the movie wasn't quite working (despite the strong acting) until it made that change towards the end. Without that, I'm not sure I would have come out of it viewing this movie positively.
Interesting! Thanks for that input.

Lyonne I’m sure nails the role as she usually plays herself in a sense
She does play herself but somehow always manages to shine whether in Russian Doll, Poker Face or Orange... Her presence and delivery just work for the characters she plays.
Olsen is doing a lot of projects
I think this is the first time where I strongly disagree with the both of you 😂
Usually I agree with at least one but that’s the beauty of art
A great female lead cast but hearing you two discuss and the mediocre scores my interest just isn't there. I am curious to see what a "modest lower east side apartment" looks like.

I started watching this last night. Gave up after 15 minutes. Too stagey for my tastes.
This is where I'd say you are overcritiquing the film.
His Three Daughters shows the harsh realities of sibling relationships in times of grief. I'd be really surprised and upset if all three actresses aren't nominated by critics groups and at the Oscars.
Let me guess, Alonso loved this one, of course, right?
Watch and find out!
