His Three Daughters review: Savour this exquisite elegy to death and sisterhood, writes BRIAN VINER
Death, it occurred to me while watching the new Netflix release His Three Daughters, has been more of a constant in cinematic story-telling than anything else, including love.
The wellspring of the dramais the relationship between the trio of women who are waiting for him to expire: his daughters Katie (Carrie Coon), Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) and Rachel (Natasha Lyonne). His Three Daughters is exquisitely acted (especially by Olsen, who somehow turns the least interesting role into the most watchable) and cleverly, wittily scripted by writer-director Azazel Jacobs (whose 2017 film The Lovers was another gem about the shifting sands within family relationships). Demi Moore gives a bold, career-best performance as Elisabeth Sparkle, a once-mighty Hollywood star reduced to presenting a workout show on TV, and then stripped even of that by her odious boss (Dennis Quaid), who is looking for someone younger.
