The Lost Daughter: Netflix Release Date, Cast and Trailer

The Lost Daughter is a 2021 psychological drama movie based on Elena Ferrante’s novel of the same title. The film is composed and directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Netflix released a trailer of the movie last month, featuring a woman’s tranquil beach vacation that takes an unsightly turn as her obsession with a young lady staying at a nearby villa ignites her memories.

From the movie’s suspense trailer, it’s clear that the plot has set a high bar. Though much has been unveiled, there’s still more to find out, which you’ll get to find out only if you watch the movie.
