You must watch Daughters because you will not find a film like it anywhere. It's like some rare bird that's not only striking because of its unusual colors but because of the perfection of its form.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Rating: 4/4 --
Daughters' impressionistic look at the Great Migration (who will go, who will stay, and at what cost?) combines a corporeal sense of history with poetic, often indirect and allegorical underpinnings.

Globe and Mail
A ravishingly beautiful work, it presents the historically grounded story of a multi-generational Gullah family reuniting on an island off South Carolina's coast.

KDHX (St. Louis)
Daughters damns precedent altogether, sidestepping the broad strokes of African-American history familiar from so many textbook historical dramas set during the era of antebellum slavery or the '60s Civil Rights Movement.

Cinema Scope
Dash's seminal drama is that rare ensemble piece truly focused on the collective, how individuals complicate and contradict notions of community.

San Diego CityBeat
Rating: 4/5 --
The film offers a poetic political vision of a society falling between the stools of progression and regression, asking whether standing off against the travesties of the antebellum American South is the only way to attain true freedom.

Little White Lies
Even when the pace slows to a crawl, the island's gentle mood is appealing.
