His Three Daughters
This tense, touching and funny portrait of family dynamics follows three estranged sisters as they converge in a New York apartment to care for their ailing father and try to mend their own broken relationship with one another.

A portrait of grief and reconciliation. Grief can be messy and often further complicated by fractured familial relationships. Deaths often force us to reckon with (or at least confront) these divides if for no other reason than to work through some of the necessary procedural tasks associated with end of life. Having recently gone through a similar situation there’s a great deal of this that hit close to home. You find yourself doing a fair amount of self-bargaining deciding what transgressions can you choose to let go of in the name allowing everyone to grieve in their own way. Natasha Lyonne is a standout performance here, and oddly this is a rare instance where I didn’t really care for Carrie Coon’s performance at all. It’s easy to look past as this is an effective and moving drama.
