Review of In the Name of My Daughter (2014) by Kevin A — 30 May 2015
Surprisingly intriguing, what begins as a familal dysfuction struggle over the family business which just happens to be a casino on the French Riviera, a push pull between mother (Deneuve) and her estranged daughter (Adele Haenel) becomes a missing person drama.
The trusted lawyer on the edges of the family turns out to not be trust worthy at all. It astounds how much smoking the Euros feel they need to do in a film to suggest deep thought. Overall this French film is well done and the acting is first rate.
The story turn in act three is a surprise but works very well to bring all the competing interests to a close.
