I loved the first two-thirds of the movie His Three Daughters. I decided to watch it because it made a lot of “Best of 2024” lists. I also decided to check it out because Carrie Coon is in it.
I loved Carrie Coon in Lake George, and I also love her in His Three Daughters. She’s become my current favourite actor – sorry Aubrey Plaza! The character Coon plays in Daughters IS my late wife’s sister – a Mega Bitch that has to be experienced to be believed – at least for the first 2/3 of the movie.
His Three Daughters has incredible acting all around. Natasha Lyonne of Russian Doll fame plays one of the daughters. Lyonne has received an armful of awards for her work in this movie, and she deserves them, too.
His Three Daughters is more like a play than a movie. The emphasis is on storytelling and acting. The plot involves three sisters holed up in a small NYC apartment. It is NOT Christmas material, but it will make you laugh and cry. But maybe this movie is suitable for Christmas viewing, if laughing and crying your way through a box of tissues happens to be your thing.
The fine acting goes far beyond the three leads. There is no weak link in this cast. Jovan Adepo plays the boyfriend of Lyonne’s character, and he might have stolen the show if his role had been bigger.
His Three Daughters might be the ONLY thing produced by Netflix that I like!
The last third of His Three Daughters was a gear shift that the movie did not need, but it is still a solid watch.
Your takeaway from this review: Check out Lake George!
