At this year's Venice Film Festival, audiences were treated to a quiet, arresting story about a woman and her elderly mother being haunted by a mysterious presence inside a hotel. It is easy to understand why the movie left a lasting impression after viewing the first trailer.
The Eternal Daughter expands on the semi-autobiographical world of The Souvenir films with the story of Julie Hart, an artist who decides to make a go of connecting with her elderly mother by travelling with her to a strange hotel. While Rosalind has fond childhood memories of the hotel from before it was renovated and turned into a business, in The Eternal Daughter's first trailer, he can't shake the feeling that there's something menacing living in the building that wants something from her and her mother
The Eternal Daughter is an ideal film for people who aren't ready to give up spooky season because it shows things that aren't exactly what they seem around Julie and Rosalind. When The Eternal Daughter hits theaters and on-demand platforms in December, it will be safe to say that the most unnerving thing about the movie will be her performance and the fact that she is hiding something.
