My Daughter, My Angel

About This Movie

My Daughter, My Angel is a gritty exploration of a young woman's descent into the adult film industry, set against the backdrop of Montreal's urban landscape. Nathalie, portrayed with a haunting naivety, navigates her legal studies while unwittingly stepping into a world that challenges her identity and values. The film's pacing is deliberate, building tension as her father's desperate quest to save her unfolds. It grapples with heavy themes like parental control and personal agency, which makes it distinctively thought-provoking. The performances, particularly from Michel Côté as the troubled father, add layers of emotional complexity, grounding the narrative in a sense of realism that lingers long after the credits roll.
