His Three Daughters - 4 Stars - STREAMING - NETFLIX - September 6, 2024

His Three Daughters begins with Carrie Coon delivering a monologue at her sister so brilliant, that in those first few moments we know what to expect.  His Three Daughters crowds a dying father's daughters into a small apartment where Hospice is administering end of life care to their parent.  In this small space, a generation of resentments and slights come to the surface.  Carrie Coon plays the over-functioning eldest.  Elizabeth Olsen inhabits the shut-down sibling, and Natasha Lyonne the laid-back sister who deals several surprises to as the story unfolds.  His Three Daughters feels more like a play than a movie, but with acting and dialog are so compelling, I couldn't even think of looking away.  This is truth, blinding truth.  His Three Daughters.
