‘His Three Daughters’ Review: Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen and Natasha Lyonne Excel in Azazel Jacobs’ Vividly Affecting Chamber Dramedy

The stars play sisters reunited in the New York City apartment of their childhood to care for their father during his last days of home hospice care.

— all playing both to and against type in bracing ways — it’s the writer-director’s strongest effort since, Jacobs’ new movie deals with the big stuff: life, mortality, family, real estate. The last of those, in this case, is a rent-controlled co-op in lower Manhattan, where three women have reunited to be with their father during his final days of home hospice care.

With poison-tipped stabs of humor and swells of feeling,shakes off the familiarity of its setup and the inevitable shadow of its thematic forebears . Despite any dread a skim of the synopsis might provoke, the film is free of the mopey melodrama or Sundancey quirks that often make the dying-parent/estranged-sibling screen subgenre so dire. It’s wry, vivid and moving in unexpected ways.
