"Ferrante's novels are tactile and sensual, visceral and
dizzying."
*The Guardian*
"It’s Leda’s voice that’s hypnotic, and it’s the writing that makes
it that way. Ferrante can do a woman’s interior dialogue like no
one else, with a ferocity that is shockingly honest, unnervingly
blunt"
*Booklist*
"Ferrante's gift for psychological horror renders it immediate and
visceral"
*The New Yorker*
"Ferrante is a hypnotist."
*The Spectator*
"[Ferrante] describes the female experience so intimately and so
vividly that the reader feels like she could (and should) know the
writer personally."
*New York Magazine*
“A raw, gritty and gripping meditation of the difficulties of
motherhood.”
*The Observer*
“An absorbingly shaped psychological drama, built around a single
traumatising event from which the action metastasises.”
*The Guardian*
“Subtly daring.”
*The Financial Times*
“Entirely gripping….. a literary film with a literary script.”
*The Spectator*
“Sadness is lanced through the heart of Gyllenhaal’s film, which
she both adapted and directed, but it’s rich and luxurious in its
texture.”
*The Independent*
“Adapted from Elena Ferrante’s novel of the same name, The Lost
Daughter is a heady exercise in restraint."
*NME*
