Synopsis
Watch The Daughter (2015) online on iFILM — an Australian family drama carried by a remarkable ensemble: Geoffrey Rush, Sam Neill, Miranda Otto, Anna Torv and breakout Odessa Young. Theatre director Simon Stone made his screen debut here, reworking Henrik Ibsen's play The Wild Duck into the present day.
After fifteen years away, Christian comes back to a fading logging town for his father's wedding to a much younger housekeeper. He falls back in with childhood friend Oliver, recently laid off from the family timber mill. The closer Christian gets to Oliver's wife Charlotte and their teenage daughter Hedvig, the more he uncovers a buried truth — the kind that can pull two households apart at once.
Stone directs with hushed precision, letting Ibsen's century-old story breathe inside the Australian backwoods. This one rewards patience: it's less about plot twists than about watching honesty wreck people who once cared for each other. Stream The Daughter (2015) online on iFILM.
