Misunderstood
22 April 2023
A far eastern movie called "The Assassin" had once left martial arts fans frustrated and bored because the critically acclaimed 2015 Hou Hsiao-hsien movie was actually a drama and not an action movie. What we have here is a similar case. The Eternal Daughter is a drama in a horror theme. Make it in black and white and remove the spooky soundtrack and it's an Ingmar Bergman.. a bit. Human suffering is always a scary thing and for that the horror theme actually worked. Visually i found the movie fun to watch. It is very beautifully shot.

If you enjoy slow raw dramas, watch. If you don't, avoid because this is not a horror movie.
