Prisoner’s Daughter is a drama that stings hard but also unleashes a lot of hope. It is a splendid reason to be excited about the great American indie again.
Prisoner’s Daughter is, in a way, a simple movie. It’s also a cleverly (perhaps unconsciously) disguised version of John Wayne’s swan song, “The Shootist.” It’s one of those movies that you’ll enjoy as it goes along, only to realize, a day or two later, that it was even better than you thought.

The plot of this film seemed rather tired and it was predictable from beginning to end. Not one scene left anything to the imagination, so it lost a few points there for me. That being said, performances were decent, so that made it a bit easier to watch.

Por mais boa intenção do roteiro em pintar um quadro de uma mãe solo (com o marido viciado sempre à espera, e um pai com tornozeleira eletrônica a passar os últimos dias de vida com a filha e o neto), e ainda fazendo da criança um rapaz esperto mas também sensível,grita uma sensação de atitudes meio robóticas, como se não passasse naturalidade. Esse esquematismo prejudica o envolvimento e a tensão, cuja última cena é exemplar: não há espaço aqui para multidimensionalidade, os personagens fazem aquilo que o roteiro convenientemente acha o melhor. As interpretações estão apenas ok, e o ritmo meio aborrecido, pelo menos, é quebrado por certas ações interessantes, por mais forçadas que sejam.

If there’s one reason to see Prisoner’s Daughter, it’s Kate Beckinsale.
Although Prisoner’s Daughter gets a necessary emotional lift from its strong lead performances, the blandly by-the-numbers redemptive family drama falls short of representing a return to early form for the “Thirteen” director.
While fans of Cox and Beckinsale‘s work might still enjoy some moments of Prisoner’s Daughter, the overall lack of polish in the script makes for a dull experience that’s filled with inconsistencies.
For Cox, a veteran actor with no mountains left to climb and few concerns about speaking his mind, Prisoner’s Daughter plays like one of those movies where you just take the money and run.
One for Hardwicke, and everyone else, to forget.
(Mauro Lanari)
Family drama directed by a female director who has already been the screenwriter of "Don't Worry Darling" and is prisoner of a misandry that would only be redeemable with self-destructiveness. At 50, Beckinsale is unrecognizable with tattoos and something else on her face (but she denies it).
