I was pretty sure I knew what kind of movie "The Lost Daughter" was going to be, and it played on a lot of my assumptions, but this snippet of dialogue blew my hair back:
"We thought you were dead." "You thought I was dead?" "Are you alright, Mommy? " "No, I'm alive actually."
That level of subtlety is playing games with you throughout, and I'm very impressed by Maggie Gyllenhaal's writer/director debut. I want to know, if anyone read the book it's based on, if that exact bit of dialogue is from the book, or if that was hers?
Recommended, but now I need to watch something with a little more... color.
