Nominated for 3 Academy Awards. Maggie Gyllenhaal’s seductive first feature is a movie filled with portents. These start to surface almost immediately as Leda (Olivia Colman), a gifted professor of comparative literature, begins a Greek island vacation, laden with books and scholarly intentions.  Drip by drip, a vague sense of menace builds as Leda is drawn to Nina (Dakota Johnson) the unhappy mother of a fractious little girl who is also staying at the resort.  Adapted from Elena Ferrante’s 2006 novel of the same name, The Lost Daughter is a sophisticated, elusively plotted psychological thriller.

 “An auspicious debut from Gyllenhaal, who observes every little moment with intense focus, and another riveting performance from Colman, who develops a wrenching portrait of motherhood with quiet, chilling intensity.”—Newsday
