Will to Truth: Adaptation and the Uncanny in Simon Stone's The Daughter

Must hidden truths always come to light, despite adverse consequences, and what should our role be in their unearthing? This question underpins Simon Stone's rendition of The Wild Duck, which recounts the conflict between two families and its effects on the teenage girl caught in the crossfire. Greg Dolgopolov evaluates the adaptation in terms of its adherence to the source text, its treatment of the original's themes, and its place within the 'secret family history' film subgenre.
