Elizabeth Olsen, Natasha Lyonne & Carrie Coon Want Filmmakers To Stop Making Them Do This One Thing

What’s better than one career-high performance? Try three career-high performances. That’s exactly what His Three Daughters — starring a trio consisting of Elizabeth Olsen, Natasha Lyonne, and Carrie Coon — offers. It’s no easy feat, considering they’re all experts at their craft with exceptional filmographies, but Azazel Jacobs’ strong direction and equally strong script about three very different sisters who must come together to care for their terminally ill father make it so.

Olsen is best known for playing Wanda Maximoff in the MCU, but here, she returns to her intimate indie roots as Christina, the youngest of the titular daughters, who struggles to keep the peace between her strong-willed sisters: Carrie Coon’s Katie, a judgmental control freak, and Natasha Lyonne’s Rachel, who would rather check out of the drama and smoke some pot. Trapped in the confined space of their father’s apartment, where Rachel has been living and caring for the man, long-simmering resentments and insecurities threaten to erupt. The situation has the power to act as a fresh start for the sisters — or snap the thin thread by which their fraught relationships are already dangling.

Collider got the chance to speak to Olsen, Lyonne, and Coon about what drew them to Jacobs’ dialogue-heavy approach, the specific challenges of phone scenes and fake cigarettes, and more.

When it comes to underrated actors, Carrie Coon is one of the first names that come to mind!

it’s a true testament to the interviewer’s talent when a fan is surprised by how much her favorite artist talked in such a short interview lol this was amazing!! i loved everything about this.

[edie]

they’re so right one of the least believable things on film is when someone’s relaying this really long message they’ve apparently been told in a 2 second call

[lilicooper]

Carrie Coon is possibly the best actress to ever exist

[agnesnolan]

What an insightful fun interview. And the movie was great as well, with outstanding performances.

Such smart, talented, funny and beautiful ladies. Huge fan of Natasha and Elizabeth since the beginning of their careers. I've been watching all the press videos bc I won't watch the movie. I have 3 sisters and we lost our mom to a terminal illness

I thought lizzies acting was really weird in this movie. I did not like it or find it reality based. It seemed like acting rather than expressing realness while being filmed.

Natasha lyonne is one of the best actors today. Very talented. Iconic voice too.
