Daughter is Like Her Mother

About This Movie

Daughter is Like Her Mother is an intriguing exploration of familial relationships and the darker sides of desire. The tone is heavy, almost oppressive at times, with an atmosphere that feels both intimate and unsettling. The pacing has a sort of languid quality that fits the themes of betrayal and confusion. Suna's horror at her mother's actions juxtaposed with her aunt's troubling behavior creates a tension that lingers. There's a rawness in the performances, especially from the lead, who captures the turmoil of youth caught in a web of adult complexities. The film’s practical effects are minimal, yet the emotional weight is palpable, making it distinctive in how it tackles uncomfortable truths about family dynamics.
