Big Debut
Maggie Gyllenhaal makes her feature screenwriting and directorial debut with The Lost Daughter, a cinematic adaptation of the novel of
the same name by Elena Ferrante.

Co-starring Dakota Johnson, Jessie Buckley, and Peter Sarsgaard,
The Lost Daughter examines the psychological implications of repressed memories in harrowing detail.
