An unforgettable experience. I saw this for the first time on a flight to London, and was itching to rewatch it as soon as it ended. In my opinion, never has a documentary, besides perhaps Errol Morris' Gates of Heaven, been so full of that magical substance which makes us human. “Four Daughters” constitutes a unique social experiment and monumental cinematic experience, where a Tunisian woman named Olfa hires two actresses to play her daughters following their sudden disappearance. We watch closely as Olfa and her two remaining daughters revisit painful memories and learn to find love amidst a pool of darkness. A riveting work of art that explores our ability to understand tragedy and our confrontations with evil and suffering in their rawest forms, and a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the beauty of sisterhood. A must-watch.
