Carla Hay Women's Media Center 04/16/2024
Daughters of the Cult features interviews with several LeBaron family members and associates who are no longer in the cult and who have disavowed all the crimes--such as murder, incest, and rape--that were committed in the name of the cult.

This emotional and harrowing series is a confessional, interview, and roundtable rolled into one. Go to Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider 01/08/2024
Daughters of the Cult is a true crime docuseries done right. Never elevating the violent, sexually controlling cult leader at its center to some ghoulish pedestal... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Matt J @RT85622388 01/17/2024 You can see the film makers have tried to do something a little different here by having everything told by this bunch of siblings in a kind of way intended to make it feel like natural recollections. The problem is that it results in quite a chaotic story telling. They bounce from one sibling to another with rapid frequency and it's interspersed with 'banter' between them that is intended to be endearing. unfortunately it is so frequent that it becomes an annoying distraction. Its great these survivors had a chance to speak, but the show feels lazily made and does them something of a disservice. See more Read all reviews
