This may be a film that is going unnoticed, despite the best one hundred percent critics’ score, however Netflix has lately a new Best Picture, a film that does not appear in the top 10, most likely because of its theme. matter and its lack of awareness on this subject.
This film is called Daughters, a documentary focused on the program Appointment with Dad, where the daughters come to the prison to see their parents and it is more than a simple visit, it is a small birthday party at a time when many prisons have stopped entering. person visits completely. favoring, in the best of cases, video calls or telephone calls.
Daughters premiered on August 14 and racked up 43 reviews, far more than some Netflix originals, and maintained a certified fresh score and the best for Rotten Tomatoes.
The fact that it’s not seen much possibly has something to do with Netflix’s set of tips rules. It took about five scrolls through Netflix’s “New” segment to locate it, and of course, Netflix doesn’t show critics’ ratings, so there’s no indication of how smart it is. And I guess most people’s set of rules of advice doesn’t revolve around “documentaries about women visiting their parents in prison. “
It is not just a matter of well-being. The girls have confused reactions to their parents and the film does not hide it. While it’s a documentary and not a fun blockbuster to watch on the weekends, it’s definitely worth watching. Now, the full list of the 10 most sensible videos in which Daughters has not been discovered after 3 days is as follows:
So yes, there are a lot more mainstream festivals out there, but maybe shining a light on Girls like this can get it seen more. If it’s this good, we could even expect an Oscar nomination in the documentary category later this year. , but we’ll see, it’s still a little early to know. And yet, with dozens of reviews, you rarely see better scores like this.
When I have time this weekend or next week, I’ll watch based on the praise I get, and even if Netflix doesn’t seem to want to sell it to me directly. It’s a shame because it turns out that he deserves better.
Update (8/19): Well, I’d like to go through Netflix’s top 10 list and see if this movie has raised its profile. There’s a new movie at the end of the list. They are girls. It’s Minion. Ay.
I read more about the film before watching it and there are some interviews with co-directors Natalie Rae and Angela Patton. Here’s Rae after a performance at August Academy in Beverly Hills:
Netflix bought the film after winning the Festival Favorite and U. S. Documentary Audience Awards. And now they need him to be an Oscar contender when the time comes, which is on the right track. Here comes Rae again.
Daughters is streaming now.
