Director: Maggie Gyllenhaal Release Date: December 17, 2021 I don’t really know how to describe The Lost Daughter because it is so remarkably average. I don’t think it’s a terrible movie, but I also do not think it’s the best movie ever. This movie didn’t really have a plot; it was a bunch of flashbacks. Someone might argue that the plot could be Nina’s child going missing, getting found, and Leda stealing her doll. However, the prime focus is Leda’s trip bringing back memories of being a young mother. I appreciate how this film highlights the difficulties of motherhood. Olivia Colman did a great job playing her role as Leda, but I do not know if it’s Oscar worthy. I personally liked Jessie Buckley’s (young Leda) performance better. It was more dynamic with all of the different scenes and array of emotion. The Lost Daughter should definitely be given a chance because I see potential in why it might be good. I’ll try to watch it again.
