Laura Bispuri reunites with her Sworn Virgin star Alba Rohrwacher in this Sardinia-set story of a young girl torn between two mothers.
"Vittoria, a shy 10-year-old girl, spends the summer on the windswept Sardinian coast with her loving-but-overprotective mother Tina (Valeria Golino, Rain Man). Vittoria begins to suspect that the local party girl Angelica (Rohrwacher) is her actual birth mother, a revelation that upsets her innocent childhood existence. When financial difficulties force Angelica to leave town, she asks Tina if she can spend some time with Vittoria before she goes. Tina reluctantly agrees, setting off a dramatic summer during which the young Vittoria finds herself torn between two imperfect mothers." (Tribeca Film Festival)

"The film renders each of Vittoria's mothers with such riveting and unvarnished empathy that you hardly even notice how their daughter is growing up before your eyes, stronger than the both of them."

The New York Times
The New York Times"Central to the movie's full-bloodedness, though, when all pistons are working, are the richly felt portrayals from its trio of leads."

Wall Street Journal
Wall Street Journal"Even when it trips up in its later stages, "Daughter of Mine" is a noble rarity, passionately involved in the exploration of oppositional ideas of motherhood not just as an abstract concept, but as a real and vivid, painfully sacrificial thing."
