The Lost Daughter

This was the first Olivia Coleman vehicle I have disliked. Really. An homage to a severely narcissistic woman. Do we need more of this sort of thing? Without getting into the limited plot, I will say that wasting Ms. Coleman and Ed Harris on this production was a shame. Ms. Gyllenhaal. Has stayed far from her wondrous Netflix production, The Deuce. Perhaps this film reflects one of the great flaws of modern feminism: The elevation of insanity and selfishness to normalcy, tinted with pathos. Perhaps it was simply too mundane a story for the big screen.

This movie almost put me to sleep. If it wasn't for the little kids crying every 10 minutes it definitely would of knocked me out. I don't understand why people love this film. I thought it was extremely boring. I ended up turning it off half way through. And why are so many people praising Olivia Colman's performance? She pretty much just mopes around awkwardly staring at people. What's so brilliant about that. 4 stars.
