[Daughter of Mine] moved me. It really got to me.

Asks big questions and answers them fully, vividly and affectingly, without a trace of sentimentality.

The script is very sparse. It feels like an outline, a general idea rather than an actual filled-out story.

Rated: 2/4

Messy and real, touching and convincingly brought to the screen, Daughter of Mine is a joyous, heart and mind-expanding film.

Laura Bispuri's strikingly honest Daughter of Mine, an Italian-language drama that explores the meaning of motherhood through the tense struggle between two women who both have claims on a 9-year-old girl.

It's a quiet and affecting drama about two dramatically different women and the girl they both love.

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

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

"Daughter of mine" is an interesting film that slowly grew in me almost until the end. I just think that could have brought home more than it has. A simple wild work with simple wild characters.

Excellent performances. "Gripping, Raw and Arresting" is precise. A coming of age 10 yr old girl searches for truth, experience and driven by her innate feelings. Go see this film, it is beautifully written, performed and directed.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
