04/30/2020 The three principals in this film were all impressive in an often gut-wrenching movie; but also a movie with hope for these people to find a way to come to a happy, healthy place together with space for all that they are. Well done by Bispuri. 3.2 stars See more nefasto r @Nefasto 07/03/2019 "Daughter of mine" is an interesting film that slowly grew in me almost until the end.
