Review of The Eternal Daughter (2022) by Jluis_001 — 23 Dec 2022
The Souvenir Part 1 and 2 were movies that did little for me, so even with my reservations I wasn't sure what to expect from The Eternal Daughter. Even with the presence of Tilda Swinton.
The most ironic thing of all, is that being a film with a very different structure - one of those of which it is often said that nothing happens in them - The Eternal Daughter manages to become a much more atmospheric and captivating experience even with how repetitive its structure is, because the questions that begin to stand out are: ''What is really happening?'' and ''Is what's happening real?
And while this may seem like a device that is often overused in stories that tackle this style that seeks to confuse the viewer, Joanna Hogg's approach communicates her illusion in a very captivating way, cause my interpretation may be very different from the one she has in her mind, and in the best of cases that might be right, but one way or another I think I enjoy it more this way.
