Netflix

Your support helps us to tell the story

If His Three Daughters plays like filmed theatre, despite being written and directed for the screen by Azazel Jacobs, it’s because grief too often feels like performance. Katie (Carrie Coon), Rachel (Natasha Lyonne), and Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) are told every morning by their father’s hospice carer, Angel (Rudy Galvan), that this will likely be his last day alive. They’ve prepared to grieve so much, and grieved the preparation, that a sickly kind of boredom has set in.
