A new family drama starring Elizabeth Olsen has surprised viewers by becoming one of Netflix’s most watched movies. The film, titled “His Three Daughters,” follows three estranged sisters who reunite to care for their sick father. It now sits at number five on Netflix’s top 10 list.
The movie stars Elizabeth Olsen, Natasha Lyonne, and Carrie Coon as the three sisters. They must work through complicated relationships and memories from their past. Audiences have connected strongly with the touching story of family healing. Film critics also highly praise “His Three Daughters,” awarding it a 98% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Director Azazel Jacobs creates a blend of emotion and humor in his films. He brought that style to telling this family’s story. Jacobs is known for movies such as “French Exit” and “The Lovers.” His previous works skillfully mixed darkness with deeply human themes. Critics say he refined this talent for his latest film.
The role marks a shift for Elizabeth Olsen from her superhero work. She played the villainous Scarlet Witch in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.” Olsen also portrayed real-life murderer Candy Montgomery in the TV series “Love & Death.” Those complex female leads show her broad acting range outside of action movies.
Supporting performances by Rudy Galvan, Jose Febus, and Randy Ramos Jr. further developed the complex dynamics within the family. Their portrayals, along with the lead actresses, drew widespread acclaim. As the film climbs Netflix charts, it highlights the enduring popularity of emotional family dramas. It also spotlights the talent of Elizabeth Olsen, Natasha Lyonne, and Carrie Coon beyond their more familiar genres.
Through realistic relationships and poignant moments, “His Three Daughters” clearly resonated with viewers. As positive reception spreads, the film likely will find new fans. This could establish it as a notable original in Netflix’s vast library.
