SYNOPSIS | From writer-director Azazel Jacobs (French Exit, The Lovers) comes this bittersweet and often funny story of an elderly patriarch and the three grown daughters who come to be with him in his final days. Katie (Carrie Coon) is a controlling Brooklyn mother dealing with a wayward teenage daughter; free-spirited Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) is a different kind of mom, separated from her offspring for the first time; and Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) is a sports-betting stoner who has never left her father’s apartment — much to the chagrin of her half-sisters, who share a different mother and worldview. Continuing his astute exploration of family dynamics in close-knit spaces, Jacobs follows the siblings over the course of three volatile days, as death looms, grievances erupt, and love seeps through the cracks of a fractured home.

#TIFF23: “HIS THREE DAUGHTERS” REVIEW

By Amanda Gilmore

Acclaimed Writer-Director Azazel Jacobs delivers a moving portrait of the complexities within sibling dynamics with His Three Daughters. The story follows three sisters, the eldest Katie (Carrie Coon), middle Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) and the youngest Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) who coverage to care for their father when his health declines.

Jacobs heartbreakingly captures the feeling of being in limbo while watching a loved one slowly die before your eyes. It’s the mental state of grieving something that hasn’t yet completely gone. Jacobs’ meticulously written and distinct characters handle this state of being in different ways. And it’s clear from the first shot that His Three Daughters is like attending a masterclass in acting.

Coon’s captivating performance as the tense Katie speaks a mile a minute and is quick to judge any matter. She’s constantly at the throat of Rachel who’s been the one living and caring for their ill father a year before his health took a turn for the worse. Lyonne delivers a nuanced performance as the middle sister who’s quietly carried her pain alone. Then there’s the quirky Christina who attempts to maintain her internal peace while appearing to be on the verge of breaking down. Olsen gives one of her finest performances to date.

The Script is loaded with monologues that showcase the powerhouse talent Jacobs has assembled which causes His Three Daughters to feel ‘stagey’ at times. But it’s these performances that enthral the viewer into the story. An affecting story that examines the bonds between siblings and how grieving takes many shapes and forms.
