Critics consensus

“With The Daughter , debuting writer-director Simon Stone turns Henrik Ibsen's The Wild Duck into a thoughtful meditation on the bonds of family, friendship, and community.”

... The Daughter, while sticking close in broad outline to Ibsen's 1884 masterpiece, moves with a fluid grace that's wholly cinematic...

Peter Rainer

RTChristian Science MonitorFeb 3, 2017

As any kind of introduction to Ibsen, this film is more a turnoff than a turn-on.

Kenneth Turan

RTLos Angeles TimesFeb 2, 2017

Made with taste, skill and discretion, "The Daughter" demonstrates both the staying power of classic material and the risks inherent in bringing it up to date.

Edward Lawrenson

RTThe Big IssueSep 20, 2023

Handling shifts in tone from acutely observed vignettes of small-town life to scenes of tragic ferocity with deft assurance, this is an impressive fully-formed debut from Stone. It's stunningly performed, too, with special mention to Odessa Young.
