A Daughter's Deception (2019 TV Movie)
5/10
Good Performances, Lazy Script
21 May 2019
'A Daughter's Deception' has some decent moments and some very illogical ones. In a nutshell, a young woman calling herself Bree claims to be the long-lost daughter of our heroine Laura.

Silly points:

* Laura immediately believes the claim without proof.

* Laura's nosy friend Gareth somehow, someway learns a big secret about Bree through "the Internet" (has she conveniently left this info online?).

* Laura's younger daughter, Skylar, and a detective become super suspicious toward the end without much reason offered in the script.

* Some of these contrived developments are just thrown into the story to make Bree lash out, which feels forced when they're not realistic.

* Someone's status at the very end isn't the least bit believeable.

With all that being said, the performances by Kennedy Tucker and Jade Harlow are excellent. Jade is great as the shaken, loving mother. Kennedy is a model who can actually act, and she plays the role of cocky psycho very well.

The tale also includes an interesting twist that I certainly didn't see coming, though it seriously makes you wonder why one character didn't just target a certain someone else from the start. Overall, this remains watchable all throughout, if a little illogical at times.
