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: 5/5 --
It is a mysterious, fabular and sometimes dreamlike film with its own theatrical poise.

Guardian
Rating: 4/5 --
The film has a flowing, lyrical structure that slowly envelops you, immersing you in a lost language, culture and time, and the images of African-American women in white dresses and starched collars playing on a lonely beach earn their iconic status.

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

An absorbing, spirited film that merits considerable respect.

Chicago Tribune
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
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.
