The Daughter

About This Movie

The Daughter (2024) has this raw tension that grips you from the start. It follows Olga, a hearing-impaired teen, and her family as they navigate a war-torn landscape, which really amplifies the themes of fear and survival. The performances, especially from the young actress playing Olga, are quite striking – you can feel the weight of her experience without uttering much. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing the audience to soak in the atmosphere of dread. And those practical effects when the soldiers occupy their home? They lend a stark realism that’s hard to shake off. It’s definitely a film that leans into the emotional and psychological impact of war without being heavy-handed.
