Daughters (2024)

"A tender, painful, intimate film."

"Made all the more effective by (the directors') steadfast refusal to settle for easy sentiment."

"Successfully handles sensitive topics with compassion and care."

"A quietly devastating portrait of girls and their incarcerated fathers."

"Patton and Rae spent years following their subjects, and the resulting portraits... are intimate and stirring."

"A potent documentary nearly undone by its anticlimactic structure."

"Rife with visually lyrical moments that connect viewers with the young ones’ sorrows, fears, insights and hopes."

"Emotionally devastating."

"Cinematography by Michael Fernandez and gentle music by Kelsey Lu give the film a warmth and lyricism that reflects the girls’ innocence."

"It’s in the realities of distance that we come to fully grasp the complexity of the dance."
