Daisy Winters Review
Daisy Winters is at once a heartbreaking, healing and joyful journey immersed in the unbreakable bonds between mothers and daughters. And laced with an emotionally vibrant, raw and real eloquent cool. Brooke Shields stars in this bittersweet tale fueled with naked, genuine emotions, in tackling the rocky road of a mother/daughter relationship in the film.
Next to the greatest fear of losing a child, is leaving them behind if you pass away. Such is the sensitively crafted coming of age story of Daisy Winters, with Sterling Jerins as an eleven year old with a dark and capricious but fascinating imagination. And Shields, subtly and gracefully going inside herself to burrow into the complicated emotional life of this woman.
