Good Daughter

About This Movie

So, 'Good Daughter'—it dives into some pretty dark territory, right? You've got this small-time con artist who finds her niche in ripping off elderly folks, pretending to be their long-lost daughters. The tone is heavy, almost suffocating at times, with a slow, deliberate pacing that lets the tension simmer. The atmosphere feels gritty, almost claustrophobic, especially as her scams start to unravel. The performances, particularly from the lead, are raw and layered; you can sense the desperation. There’s an interesting exploration of morality, too—how far someone will go when they’re backed into a corner. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects and the emotional weight hit hard. Definitely sticks with you, in a way that’s unsettling.
