I really wish those making movies would consult medical personnel before making a movie. This movie is solid when it comes to family relations and how the stress of losing a loved one brings out the silent and unsaid. However, from a medical aspect, hospice patients sign a document stating what their wishes are when doing the paperwork with hospice. The hospice medical director signs off on it, so that made some scenes unnecessary. Also, there are no cardiac monitors, no IVs with hospice, and nurses do not come and sit at the bedside because time is money in healthcare. (We wish we could spend that time). Besides that, this movie reflects real life, it is entertaining, and does not include the standard forced Hollywood social indoctrination. So, thank you, for just entertaining the audience.
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.
Interest is sustained throughout, not so much by way of events, as by the interactions of the three very different sisters, and the few peripheral characters that surround them. Dealing with the impending death of a parent, this will (maybe) touch a nerve with some, and give others more fortunate (maybe) an insight to the dynamics to be expected. But I did not find it at any time morose or Maudling or over emotional, the occasionally amusing scenes kept it in check.
My only criticism was near the end, where a 10 minutes or so scene, could/should have been omitted IMO. For me it just interrupted the flow and broke the rhythm of the previous hour+.

This a very well-scripted and executed film about an upcoming death in the family, and the abyss that it leaves.. sucking those around to the center of it, for the better.
You know exactly how it is going to end, but it is what it leaves you with that matters! And what it sets out to do, it achieves with masterful craftsmanship by everyone involved.
From giving you a believable semblance of 4 different people's lives, how it captures some gut-wrenching sentiments, pain, the interactions between the well-performed sisters, that awkward feeling of people slotting back into someone else's life, and Natasha Lyonne's stand-out character gettings some kind "redemption" in the end. I also liked the "sound of the city" in the credits.
Very enjoyable! In its own way.

I love small chamber films where the key elements are acting, the script, and masterful direction. Such films resemble theatrical plays and usually capture the viewer's attention from the very beginning, holding it until the end.
«HIS THREE DAUGHTERS» is just such a film.
This is a wonderful family drama with brilliant performances by all three main actresses. Seriously, I think they all deserve at least an Oscar nomination. They are the main reason why this movie turned out so well; their chemistry on screen is just off the charts.
Additionally, the skillfully written script, excellent dialogue, and the development of each sister make the on-screen action incredibly interesting and exciting. Each main character is completely different, with her own life and unique problems that the viewer begins to understand throughout the film. It is impossible not to sympathize with each sister; every character is well-crafted, compelling, and powerfully portrayed!
I give my highest recommendations to all lovers of chamber films and powerful acting.
8/10
P. S. Elizabeth Olsen is a Goddess!

A lovely and beautiful movie about bonds and sisterhood, it makes you think twice about your sister and you can always do better.
This movie shows real sisters that you need to treat your sister better because you don't know the struggles she is facing, you literally dont know your sister darling.
So dont take for granted you relationship with your family ok, this movie has amazing performances by the three leads specially Natasha (she is my choices in the oscars)
And of course the ending scenes are emotional and ignore the review saying that that was unnecessary, he is obviously no director 8/10
Another great movie this 2024.
