Writer-director Azazel Jacobs' film about loss and family is his best so far, and one of the most powerful films of the year.
This review was written during the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. Without the labor of the writers and actors currently on strike, the film being covered here wouldn't exist.Late into His Three Daughters, the tremendous new film from French Exit and The Lovers writer-director Azazel Jacobs, one of the title’s three daughters, Christina , shares one of her memories with her soon-to-be passed father Vincent .
Jacobs sets up who these three are in the very opening scene, as Katie doesn’t know when to quit talking, going on and on before anyone else has the opportunity to speak, while Christina looks on the bright side of things, whereas Rachel seems to be there to allow her sisters to do whatever they need to do. Jacobs shows us three different types of grieving through these characters, each dealing with the inevitable in their own way.
Coon and Olsen Are Great, But Lyonne Steals the Show But the real powerhouse of His Three Daughters is Lyonne, whose Rachel has seemingly decided to sit back and let her sisters take the reins for a bit, so they can feel like they did something for their father in his last few days. We can feel the pain within her, as she’s losing someone she knew better than any of her sisters did—not just a father, but a friend. For Lyonne, it’s a quieter, more contemplative role, but she plays it beautifully.
