THE ETERNAL DAUGHTER

Review: A filmmaker and her mother return to a hotel that was once their family home, now haunted by its mysterious past.
Director: Joanna Hogg
Actors: August Joshi, Tilda Swinton, Louis and Joseph Mydell
Year: 2022
Genre: Drama, Mystery and Thriller
Conclusion: 4/5
Directed by Joanna Hogg who directed The Souvenir (2019) and The Souvenir: Part II (2021). All the themes in her films involve family and relationships. I got the impression that Joanna Hogg enjoyed making this film. I love the musical score in this and thought it worked amazingly. This is one of the best ghost stories have seen in a very long time. I thought Tilda Swinton’s performance was outstanding especially as she was acting against herself. The Springer Spaniel Louis that is used in this is in fact Tilda Swinton’s dog. The other themes that are present are grief and memories.
