For her debut as writer-director, Maggie Gyllenhaal adapted Elena Ferrante's novel 'The Lost Daughter,' a bracing story on the secret emotional journeys of motherhood.
” is an adaptation of the 1946 novel by William Lindsay Gresham previously adapted into a 1947 movie starring Tyrone Power. Bradley Cooper plays Stanton Carlisle, a drifter with a mysterious past. He falls in with a traveling carnival until he becomes a successful nightclub mentalist who meets the crooked psychoanalyst Dr. Lilith Ritter and they hatch a plan to fleece the wealthy. The supporting cast also includes Rooney Mara, Toni Collette, David Strathairn and Willem Dafoe.
”wrote, “There is a lot of talk of good and bad, playing God, responsibility, money and loyalty in and an ever-present fear of the fall. Stan knows what the bottom looks like, and an obsession with avoiding that will keep him clawing his way up. The themes are obvious and a bit old-fashioned and the trajectory is too. But that’s not a ding: It’s just a neatly constructed story that stays true to its genre and time. And hopefully, it’s not the last time Morgan and del Toro revive a hidden gem.
