A family drama that lacks a fundamental understanding of drama.

| Nov 2, 2023

It might be tempting for other actors of Beckinsale's stature to phone in a performance here, due to the lower profile of this film, but her character prep-work is tangible. Some of her finest work ever.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 1, 2023

A clunky dysfunctional family drama that should have been left in the can.

| Original Score: C | Jul 31, 2023

Prisoner’s Daughter is another let-down from filmmaker Catherine Hardwicke that is watchable at its best and embarrassing at its worst. It is a shame we know she can do so much better with stronger material.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 27, 2023

Prisoner’s Daughter is so rife with cliched tropes one could easily believe it's the product of AI.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 26, 2023

Prisoner's Daughter may boast a stellar cast, but the movie is fraught with anxious and unrealistic characters, a terribly misaligned script, and a redemption story that hangs on by a fraying thread.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2023

Clichéd and trite, sadly.

| Jul 21, 2023

It hits these melodramatic beats that seem at odds with Catherine Hardwicke's naturalistic style.

| Jul 21, 2023

Prisoner's Daughter holds viewers hostage with its relentlessly maudlin and predictable story. Brian Cox and Kate Beckinsale go through some very drab motions in this trite drama about a terminally ill criminal living with his estranged daughter.

| Jul 21, 2023

Brian Cox and Kate Beckinsale are outstanding in breathing life into some relatively stock characters.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 18, 2023

Catching the underside of communities, Hardwicke effectively uses backstreet locations around Las Vegas, giving a gritty sensation to a story that seeks a softer world where hope and redemption exist.

With a more passionate and creative writer on the team, “Prisoner’s Daughter” could have been a more impactful drama, but it’s yet another one to add to the skip pile.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jul 10, 2023

If there’s one reason to see Prisoner’s Daughter, it’s Kate Beckinsale.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 6, 2023

With a script fit for a Lifetime original, it’s almost impressive to see how close director Catherine Hardwicke gets to making this film work. Much of that comes from the efforts of Beckinsale and especially Cox, who dials down rather than ratchets up.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 6, 2023

Catherine Hardwicke’s sharply drawn, slow-simmer domestic drama Prisoner’s Daughter has the cool vibe of an indie film from a generation ago, from the lived-in look of the Vegas sets to the authentic performances of the terrific cast.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 5, 2023

Here’s a terrible 온라인카지노추천-movie-style piece of work with some awful acting and a deeply questionable, crass finale; it’s all the more wince-inducing given the lineup of alpha talent behind it.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 4, 2023

Hardwicke continues to fall victim to the same pitfalls of all her recent work, forgoing the honest spontaneity and painful meditation of earlier films.

| Jul 3, 2023

This movie hits all the right notes - acting, directing, script, etc. Beckinsale and Cox are terrific and they are ably supported by Tyson Ritter and Christopher Convery.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 1, 2023

While most of the major beats of the story are fairly easy to predict, the performances and Hardwicke’s capable direction pull it all together enough to make something of substance, albeit a bit ragged around the edges.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 1, 2023

As a drama, the biggest highlight is that Cox and Beckinsale are always reliable to deliver. Sadly, they are trapped in a story that’s dull.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 1, 2023
