His Three Daughters
Q&A with writer-director Azazel Jacobs, moderated by filmmaker Eliza Hittman (Never Rarely Sometimes Always), on Thursday, November 21 at 7 PM, screening on 35mm
From writer-director Azazel Jacobs (French Exit, The Lovers) comes this bittersweet and often funny story of an elderly patriarch and the three grown daughters who come to be with him in his final days. Katie (Carrie Coon) is a controlling Brooklyn mother dealing with a wayward teenage daughter; free-spirited Christina (Elizabeth Olsen) is a different kind of mom, separated from her offspring for the first time; and Rachel (Natasha Lyonne) is a sports-betting stoner who has never left her father’s apartment — much to the chagrin of her stepsisters, who share a different mother and worldview. Continuing his astute exploration of family dynamics in close-knit spaces, Jacobs follows the siblings over the course of three volatile days, as death looms, grievances erupt, and love seeps through the cracks of a fractured home.
"A masterpiece. Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen and Natasha Lyonne are nothing short of miraculous."
Rolling Stone
“A major accomplishment. One of the best dramas I’ve seen in a long time.”

"Funny, moving and true. Writer/Director Azazel Jacobs was always gifted. Now he's major."
