It isn’t a funny film, not like other dysfunctional family dramas The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Little Miss Sunshine (2006), or August: Osage County (2013). August: Osage County is probably the most similar to His Three Daughters in terms of themes, but that film’s larger cast and much stranger characters allowed for some moments of hilarity and surrealism that made for a more interesting film. His Three Daughters is left slightly lacking in these terms.
