The Lost Daughter

High-quality actors make this film watchable, but it is still far from engrossing. The character study of the protagonist is entertaining in the first half, but the viewer’s interest wanes after the initial hints of what’s tormenting her. It’s impossible to sympathize with her or to even feel sorry for her. The supporting motifs with the supporting characters also tread lightly and don’t add much to the film dramaturgically – that’s especially true of Ed Harris’s character, but not only him. (01/29/2022)
