Olivia Colman Faces Her Past In The Lost Daughter Trailer

After a very successful film festival run, Netflix have released the official first Trailer for Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter. Olivia Colman faces her part as she starts to unravel whilst on holiday, but what past is she now facing?

Maggie’s brother  Jake maybe on the streaming channel at the moment with The Guilty. Very soon, it will be his sister who will grab the limelight with her directorial debut with this dark drama/thriller. The film made it’s world premiere at Venice Film Festival which it won the best screenplay to more recently BFI London Film Festival. This has a good chance of being Netflix’s main contenders when the awards season arrives.

This one is based on a novel of the same name from Elena Ferrante. Leda (Colman) goes on holiday to Greece who slowly becomes obsessed with a young mother and things take a dark turn as Leda confronts the troubles of her past.

The trailer is stylishly delivered, a little vague also teasing us below the surface things are darker and unsettling. Is Leda completely telling the truth? Does she have 2 daughters???

Alone on a seaside holiday, Leda (Olivia Colman) becomes consumed with a young mother and daughter as she watches them on the beach. Unnerved by their compelling relationship, (and their raucous and menacing extended family), Leda is overwhelmed by her own memories of the terror, confusion and intensity of early motherhood. An impulsive act shocks Leda into the strange and ominous world of her own mind, where she is forced to face the unconventional choices she made as a young mother and their consequences. This is Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial debut, based on the novel by Elena Ferrante.

This film also stars Jessie Buckley, Dakota Johnson, Ed Harris, Peter Sarsgaard, Dagmara Dominczyk, and Paul Mescal.

The Lost Daughter will be released in select UK and Irish cinemas as well as released on Netflix on 31st December.
