Deeply involving and emotionally searing, “The Daughter” reps a confident and profoundly moving big screen debut for established theatre director Simon Stone.
Those familiar with Henrik Ibsen’s play, will find its themes of the haunted past detonating in the present and the gulfs in class and gender fully intact. Yet Stone’s radical retooling of the story details, characters and setting has yielded something urgent and new, and the low-key, naturalistic approach to his direction of a fine cast — a rare tonal quality in contemporary Australian drama — should ensure busy international fest play and the rapt attention of everyone seeking quality fare.
