The Eternal Daughter

The Eternal Daughter (2022)

Written and directed by Joanna Hogg

Stars: Tilda Swinton, Carly-Sophia Davies, Zinnia Davies-Cooke, August Joshi, Joseph Mydell, and Alfie Sankey-Green

This movie recently came out on VOD. I wanted to see what the mood of the movie was. Coming out of it, it feels like something that I have seen before that was better.

Julie Hart (Swinton) goes to a remote hotel with her mother and dog, Louis. The property used to belong to the family a long time ago. Julie is trying to finish a manuscipt about her and her mother. During her stay, she starts hearing things from the other rooms that are currently unoccupied. Julie feels hat something is not quite right.

Watching the film, it felt that the mod was going to be quiet and atmospheric. It was. There wasn't much dialogue. Cool. I have seen plenty of movies to know what was going to happen throughout the course of the runtime. I was waiting to the obvious reveal. It doesn't happen until fifteen minutes before the movie ends.

It is not breaking any new ground. It's the same derivative concept regurgitated out. I cannot recommend this.

Rating: 5/10
