Asks big questions and answers them fully, vividly and affectingly, without a trace of sentimentality.

The script is very sparse. It feels like an outline, a general idea rather than an actual filled-out story.

Messy and real, touching and convincingly brought to the screen, Daughter of Mine is a joyous, heart and mind-expanding film.

Laura Bispuri's strikingly honest Daughter of Mine, an Italian-language drama that explores the meaning of motherhood through the tense struggle between two women who both have claims on a 9-year-old girl.

The three principals in this film were all impressive in an often gut-wrenching movie; but also a movie with hope for these people to find a way to come to a happy, healthy place together with space for all that they are. Well done by Bispuri. 3.2 stars

"Daughter of mine" is an interesting film that slowly grew in me almost until the end. I just think that could have brought home more than it has. A simple wild work with simple wild characters.

Excellent performances. "Gripping, Raw and Arresting" is precise. A coming of age 10 yr old girl searches for truth, experience and driven by her innate feelings. Go see this film, it is beautifully written, performed and directed.
