I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
from critics, but Netflix has a new best movie at the moment, one that is not appearing on the top 10, likely given its subject matter and a lack of awareness about it.
That movie is Daughters, a documentary focused on the Date with Dad program, where daughters come to prison to see their fathers and it’s more than just a visitation, it’s a little party in an era when many prisons have stopped in-person visit altogether in favor of video or phone calls, at best.Daughters was released on August 14, and has racked up 43 reviews, a lot more than some Netflix original movies get, and has maintained a Certified Fresh, perfect Rotten Tomatoes score.
This being not well-watched may have something to do with Netflix’s recommendation algorithm. It took about five scrolls on Netflix’s “New” section to find it, and of course Netflix doesn’t show critic scores, so there’s nothing to indicate how good it is. And I suppose most people’s recommendation algorithm does not circle to “documentaries about daughters visiting their fathers in prison.”It’s not a purely feel-good story.
When I get time this weekend or next week, I will definitely be giving it a watch based on the praise it’s getting, and even though Netflix does not appear to want to market it to me directly. Which is too bad, as it seems like it deserves better.Our community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations.
