The Eternal Daughter

The Eternal Daughter is a poignant and powerful drama about a mother/daughter who confront reality and its haunted double: memory. A middle-aged artist and her elderly mother (both played by Tilda Swinton) confront long-buried secrets when they return to a former family home, now a hotel haunted by its mysterious past. Featuring a towering, deeply moving performance by Swinton, acclaimed filmmaker Joanna Hogg's beguiling latest film is a brilliant and captivating exploration of parental relationships and the things we leave behind. [2022, UK, 96 min, Rating: PG-13] Murtada Elfadl of AV Club says, “What separates this film is the delicate handling of what both parents and children want from each other. Setting it as a ghostly, dreamlike story, Hogg is able to reveal truths while also showing the aspirational ideal of such relationships.” Venue: Cinema Art Theater.
