    THE MARSH KING'S DAUGHTER - Solid B+, like 65, it's a good matinee movie. Daisy Ridley and the supporting cast are solid. From a#BenSolo & #Rey perspective, the similarities in setting and a Reylo baby to protect make the Reylo AU possibilities endless!

    When you start reading an article about why Daisy Ridley should be headlining bigger projects, and you get a major research error like saying The Marsh King's Daughter is her first studio film since Star Wars. No, that's Chaos Walking. But I'd understand why you'd want to forget.

    I don't know if it's worth a "you inherited a movie theater" double feature, but tonight, more or less at random, I watched THE MARSH KING'S DAUGHTER back to back with HUNDREDS OF BEAVERS and between them they presented . . . contrasting views of the Upper Peninsula

    The Marsh King's Daughter: Despite its movie-of-the-week production values and script, I enjoyed this simple-yet-complex thriller. A father−daughter relationship based on survivalism becomes about learning to tell who's the predator and prey. Gil Benjamin was a bonus delight. filmsky

    366 days of film. Day 18 - The Marsh King's Daughter. Ben Mendelsohn & Daisy Ridley are father & daughter, survivalists living in the wild. Life's idyllic, but not everything is as it seems. A perfectly serviceable thriller: Daisy Ridley is great (was originally an Alicia Vikander project).

    Quite enjoyed the movie adaptation of The Marsh King's Daughter - it ended up not being sure if it was going for drama or thriller, but there was enough going on to prompt a few questions and to enjoy the wholly reliable Ben Mendelsohn doing his thing.

    Oh and before I go to bed. The Marsh King's Daughter(2023) was a fairy faithful adaptation of the book. With it being entirely understandable why they didn’t film at Tahquamenon Falls.

    While nothing spectacular as a movie, The Marsh King's Daughter has solid performances from Daisy Ridley and Ben Mendelssohn working in its favor. The two make the movie worth watching, reminding us how good they are when they play normal, Earthbound characters. detroitcineaste.net/2023/11/14/t...

    Hey, whoever released The Marsh King's Daughter: if you want people to see a movie, you have to market it before it has a bad first weekend. I've seen zero marketing am on social media way too much, live in goddamn LA, and see multiple films a week. And I had no idea it opened this last week.

    I was amused that you can absolutely tell that this is an indie film because there are five animated company logos at the beginning. Definitely catch #TheMarshKingsDaughter if and when you get a chance. 3/3

    I saw #TheMarshKingsDaughter last night. I knew almost nothing about the film (which is based on a book) except that #DaisyRidley and #BenMendelsohn were in it, and with the briefest one-line plot summary that I'd read, I was in. It's a terrific movie, with a premise that I've not really seen as the main story and is more usually used as a side story. I'll admit it was distracting for me at times to hear Daisy Ridley with an American accent because I'm not used to it. 1/3
