Top 200 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2023: #189. Oorlagh George’s The Sniper’s Daughter

The Sniper’s Daughter

We’ve had to wait a while for Oorlagh George‘s directorial debut to shore up and we’ll definitely be getting a taste in ’23. It’s gestated long enough to already have a change in titles moving from “Stranger With A Camera” to what will be now be known as The Sniper’s Daughter. The Belfast-born filmmaker developed the feature through Sundance Institute’s Screenwriting and Directing Labs and among her cast we find Ellie Bamber, Owen McDonnell, Michael Shea, and Brian Milligan. George produced alongside Mary Ann Marino, Molly Egan and John Wallace.

Gist: A troubled American teen is stranded in Northern Ireland when her father is suddenly arrested for an IRA related murder from seventeen years prior. Teaming up with her delinquent cousin, together they pry into the buried secrets from their family’s past.

Release Date/Prediction: We figure this will have a major film festival premiere – perhaps a SXSW showing in March.
