Daughter of Mine is a triptych of vivid characters and superb performances (including that of young Sara Casu), a study in contrasting and competing passions. Read full review

Ardent and primal, Daughter of Mine addresses complicated ideas with head-clearing simplicity. Read full review

IndieWire David Ehrlich

While some of Bispuri’s scripting can be a bit too pointed for a story that traffics in such elemental textures (a brief flashback scene is particularly ill-advised), the film renders each of Vittoria’s mothers with such riveting and unvarnished empathy that you hardly even notice how their daughter is growing up before your eyes, stronger than the both of them.

Jessica Kiang

Even when it trips up in its later stages, Daughter of Mine is a noble rarity, passionately involved in the exploration of oppositional ideas of motherhood not just as an abstract concept, but as a real and vivid, painfully sacrificial thing. Read full review

Demetrios Matheou

Bispuri and her actresses offer a striking study in contrasts. Read full review

The Film Stage Ed Frankl

Bispuri challenges us to do away with conventional notions of what a perfect mother should be. Read full review

Unlike My Life in Pink, Daughter of Mine sidesteps all ambiguity, as the film reveals everything about its characters straight away, leaving little room for unexpected complexities about their predicaments to develop. Read full review
