The Eternal Daughter (Final Screening)

An exquisite ghost story.

In this ghost story from acclaimed filmmaker Joanna Hogg (THE SOUVENIR, THE SOUVENIR PART II) a middle-aged daughter and her elderly mother must confront long-buried secrets when they return to their former family home, a once-grand manor that has become a nearly vacant hotel brimming with mystery and haunted by its mysterious past.

Featuring a towering, deeply moving performance from Tilda Swinton (who also also starred in both SOUVENIR films), Hogg‘s beguiling, latest film is a brilliant and captivating exploration of parental relationships and the things we leave behind.

“How can a movie that seemingly does so little amount to so much? It’s because of the story lurking beyond it all — the psychological battle being waged, so quietly, under the surface of everything.” (Rolling Stone Magazine)

“A lovely and haunted dream of a movie…” (NY Times)

“What separates this film is the delicate handling of what both parents and children want from each other. Setting it as a ghostly, dreamlike story, Hogg is able to reveal truths while also showing the aspirational ideal of such relationships.” (AV Club)

“An eerie gothic horror movie that continues the story of The Souvenir films in an oddly abstract, confoundingly meta, and utterly mesmerizing way.” (Inverse)
