The Lost Daughter

POSITIVES

  • This film has a compelling narrative and tone that hooks you into the premise. 

  • Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley are amazing in their roles as Leda, who is what I would consider a very unconventional character for a protagonist that we are supposed to sympathize with. 

  • There’s a certain fascination in seeing what Leda is going to do in this movie that might make you curious enough to see things through to the end. 

  • Supporting cast is excellent as well, and adds to the drama and the tension of the premise. Solid work by Dakota Johnson, Ed Harris, Paul Mescal, Dagmara Domińczyk, and more. 

  • Has thought provocative commentaries and themes that I think spouses, parents, and middle aged people might just relate to. 

NEGATIVES

  • Has a gradual somewhat meandering build up into the plot that might make you feel impatient. 

  • There are some frustrating plot points to put up with. 

  • Rude, mean, inconsiderate, annoying people. There's a lot of them in this movie. 

  • Feels like the commentaries in this movie lays it on a little too thick 

  • Ending might not be that satisfying
