Elizabeth Olsen, Natasha Lyonne and Carrie Coon revisit frayed relationships in the trailer for the Netflix drama film His Three Daughters.
Writer-director Azazel Jacobs’ feature is set to hit select theaters Sept. 6 and begin streaming Sept. 24 after premiering last year at the Toronto International Film Festival. Olsen, Lyonne and Coon co-star as the titular estranged sisters who reconnect in a Manhattan apartment to help their ailing father and aim to repair their tense connections with each other.
“It’s nice that it’s us,” Olsen tells her sisters about the three of them spending time together. “This is the way that it should be — the way he would want it.”
Later, when asked for help in writing their dad’s obituary, Lyonne quips, “Married a couple of crazy bitches, raised a few crazy bitches.”
Rounding out the cast are Jovan Adepo, Jay O. Sanders, Rudy Galvan, Jose Febus and Jasmine Bracey. Serving as producers are Jacobs, Matt Aselton, Lia Buman, Tim Headington, Diaz Jacobs, Marc Marrie, Duncan Montgomery, Alex Orlovsky, Jack Selby and Mal Ward. Executive producers include Lyonne and Maya Rudolph.
In his review for The Hollywood Reporter, senior reviews editor Jon Frosch wrote that “filmmaker Azazel Jacobs makes a satisfying New York homecoming with His Three Daughters, a sharp, tender tale of sisterhood under duress.”
Frosch continued, “Blessed with a trio of superlative turns from Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen and Natasha Lyonne — all playing both to and against type in bracing ways — it’s the writer-director’s strongest effort since Momma’s Man put him on the indie map in 2008.”
