About this deal

It’s a familiar language of buried secrets, sinister subtext and unspooling memories – the building blocks of suspense – but the landmines in The Lost Daughter aren’t the usual culprits of dark revelation: unspeakable trauma or abuse, evil spirits, suppressed desires, the ravages of capitalism or greed.

After an awkward, sort-of-flirtatious encounter with Lyle, he brings her some octopus and cooks it for her. Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, who also adapted the script from Elena Ferrante’s novel of the same name, the film stars Olivia Colman as a woman whose seaside vacation becomes an unsettling reminder of her fraught past. They also stay online as long as the memorial creator would like them to, leaving a place for friends and family to visit year after year. Indignant, Leda berates Joe for threatening to take her daughters back to England – but still doesn't stay.No motive or interaction is simple, the complications expressed sometimes in glances, sometimes in words. It had some twists I never saw coming and the story was very original and yet not so far-fetched that it was unbelievable. Watching the scenes of her failures and abandonment – rebuffing her daughters, lashing out at them, leaving them – is an uncomfortable experience.

Deftly adapted from Elena Ferrante’s short source novel, it’s an enigmatic psychodrama that seems to teeter permanently on the brink of cataclysm. It is pretty typical for this genre so if you’re already comfortable with these kinds of novels, or perhaps with true crime, you’ll probably be okay.In the flashbacks, young Leda gets an opportunity to present her paper at a conference and leaves her girls with a sitter. Though I only met [Name] at your [son/daughter]’s wedding, I know how much they belonged with your family. When she gets back to her car at the end of the day, we see that Leda took the little girl’s doll on purpose.
