His Three Daughters

OP = Natasha Lyonne.

No R1- she is really THAT good-

All 3 actresses are stellar, but she deserves a nomination

A “shoe-in”?

Oh dear.

I saw the trailer when I was browsing Netflix yesterday. It looks soooo good. I’m glad to hear it actually is good.

King Lear?

New York Times Critics Pick

Is it fucking SHOO IN? Oh dear to me...

WTF does that even mean. I will go google it

All 3 actresses were outstanding actually.

I would say that Natasha did the best- but they are all great.

Don’t even get OP started on their intensive purposes!

OP how embarrassing for you - we always include links in posts such as this. Do better next time.

INTENTS AND PORPOISES, R8! Oh deer, you cunt!

Natasha Lyonne is a Boss

Carrie Coon is also excellent as a brittle, bitter wife and mother.

The last 15 minutes will be polarizing. I hated the ending.

Elizabeth Olsen Is great in Everything.

I'm about an hour in and I can't wait for the fucker to die and now you're telling me it gets worse? Oh no, do they all give him a lethal dose? If so, I'm going to be so pissed off.

Trailer

I have loved Natasha since But I'm A Cheerleader. I'm so glad to see she conquered her addictions and is back on track. I will watch her in anything.

OP, please think about learning English before you post. Thank you.

I have a very bad feeling Ryan Murphy will force Natasha to portray Fran Lebowitz.

I love Natasha Lyonne. She's extremely charismatic and I'll watch her in anything.

Would all three sisters be considered leads?

Carrie Coon will apparently be put in Supporting.

Natasha Lyonne was good, but an Oscar nod?? She basically smoked joints and moped around.

I think Carrie Coon and Elizabeth Olsen (I had no idea her siblings were those trashy twins) definitely get a nod. Also, Jovan Adepo (supporting actor, maybe?).

Articles about her are always the same fluff. She went from child/teen actor to hard core druggie to off-off Broadway to OITNB to Armisen’s girlfriend and indie actor and then suddenly an auteur! Writer, director, show runner, entrepreneur with her own production company. Nobody ever asks her about this in any detail. They just list off her many hats as though any actor can type out Russian Doll or direct when the mood strikes them. There’s a hell of an untold hell of a story there. I’d lobe to hear it!

Pre Ozempic she could have played Mae West. She voices her when she reads Mae’s Playboy interview on Audible and she participated in the PBS doc about West so perhaps she was also saw herself in the role.

This is more of a play than a film. It's talky and claustrophobic, to the point that when at last it moves to an outside scene, you almost feel like you're breathing in cold fresh air.

R24 Perfect description.

It was okay. Nothing groundbreaking. I love Lyonne but not used to seeing her in dramatic roles. It was kinda uncomfortable, but her character is pretty one-dimensional, so she knocked that out of the park. Olsen was the star here. I still trip on her being an Olsen sibling.

Did anyone else find the Angel character a little slimy? I get what he was trying to do but is that characterization fairly accurate of people in his profession?

I hope I'm NEVER in that situation

The plot grated on me from the start because of the completely strange view of how hospice care at home works. There are no vital sign bedside monitors, no alarms, and no frantic rush to get an MD to sign a DNR order. If the family knows that the man wanted to be a DNR, there is no need for the recurrent plot device of needing a form signed by the patient and the MD. If someone is on hospice you generally don't call 911 or seek hospital level care unless the family is overwhelmed or the patient is in discomfort despite the hospice meds. Plus every hospice patient has an MD/provider assigned to their case.

For a movie with a chosen hospice theme, the writer/director/producer should have at least looked into what hospice is and is not.

R24 wow you’re a really good film critic. That’s exactly the experience. I couldn’t even articulate it while viewing but that’s what it is. I think Natasha is great and should get an Oscar nod.

I liked it, but couldn't pay attention. I don't understand which of the daughters had the same mom.

Natasha and the one that’s not the Olsen sister.

[quote]Natasha Lyonne, Carrie Coon and Elizabeth Olsen play sisters who are caring for their dying father in this tender, funny family drama.

That sounds like the premise to this 2000 dramedy starring Diane Keaton, Meg Ryan, Lisa Kudrow, and Walter Mathau.

It was confusing that the oldest and youngest had the same parents while the middle one had different ones.

That was not the case. The oldest and the youngest have the same mother and father. Then their mom died, and their dad got married to Natasha Lyonne's mom who already had a daughter (Natasha), who was older than the youngest girl from his previous marriage. Natasha is not related by blood to any of them. The dad raised her as his own, but she is his stepdaughter.

^^So, yeah it actually WAS the case.

R30 that was another Nora Ephron stinker so I doubt anyone was copying it.

R26 -- yes, FFS, the whole idea of hospice is that there'll be no further medical intervention except minimization of pain. The DNR thing was a lame device to make the Carrie Coon character yet more one-dimensionally uptight and avoidant. Elizabeth Olsen had the role that felt fresh. Natasha Lyonne was playing what has by now become the Natasha Lyonne character (tough but tender; in touch with the real people on the street), and Carrie Coon got a familiar, stale version of Woman Who Does Things Wrong -- which admittedly does tend to draw critical acclaim.
