Olivia Colman Returns To Netflix In The Intense 'The Lost Daughter' Trailer
Olivia Colman may have completed her time as Queen Elizabeth II on Netflix's The Crown, but she's not yet done with the streaming service. Her latest film, The Lost Daughter, which has been making the rounds of film festivals in preparation for a run at awards season, was picked up by the streamer back in August 2021, just ahead of a rapturous debut at the Venice International Film Festival. The movie also stars fellow British favorite Jessie Buckley alongside Dakota Johnson in a script based on the 2006 novel by Elena Ferrante of the same name.
Colman plays Leda, a college professor on holiday alone at a seaside summer resort. Her lonely trip is interrupted when she meets an extended family who camps out next to her on the beach, including Nina (Johnson), whose relationship with her young and needy daughter, Elena, becomes a focal point of Leda's thoughts, raising memories of attempting to raise her own children, and what seem like choices that she may have spent her life regretting. Moreover, she seems to see the same in Nina, and when Elena disappears, Leda becomes determined to find her.
As is Netflix's strategy with all its awards-bait films, The Lost Daughter will have a premiere exclusively in theaters with a move to streaming a couple of weeks following. Both release dates will be before the end of 2021, ensuring the film will be eligible for everything. Check out Netflix's trailer:
