Spoiler Alert: The description below has spoilers about the Netflix movie The Lost Daughter
After a long, dark journey into her soul at a Greek seaside resort, does Olivia Colman’s Leda actually die at the end?
She is stabbed by Nina, the young mother she’s fascinated by, but then…
“Everyone is so into this,” beams the pic’s director, producer, and writer Maggie Gyllenhaal who makes her feature directorial debut here with the adaptation of the Elena Ferrante novel.
“I don’t want to put anything to bed, the only thing I would say, this is not a movie that’s trying to punish this woman,” Gyllenhaal says on today’s Crew Call, “This is a movie about trying to understand, and love and empathize with someone who does something so painful, that causes so much pain to her and the children she loves that it’s almost unbearable.

Is it possible that every best picture nominee this year will be about families? Among the 2021 Oscar contenders are “Belfast,” “Coda,” “Dune,” “King Richard,” “Mass,” “Parallel Mothers” and “The Power of the Dog” and there are plenty of other serious contenders with a similar focus.
It’s not unusual for drama to center on families; that’s been going on since the 5th century B.C., when Aeschylus wrote his “Oresteia.”
