Daughters

After yet another tense interaction with her emotionally unavailable mother, Cissy is ready to throw in the towel on their relationship. Thank goodness the connection with her own teen daughter Bennie is so different - thanks to years of therapy. On a regular night in, Cissy and Bennie stumble upon an old family photo album. The aged, crumbling photos they discovered inside not only expose the secrets of their ancestors’ survival, but they also help them travel through time to understand the struggles of the women in their family - and maybe learn how to heal their lineage.

Directed by Sharyon Culberson, Brittani Nightengale, Daughters leans on a strong ensemble — Sharyon Culberson, Shariba Rivers, Aubrey Madisyn — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
