It stars Daisy Ridley, Ben Mendelsohn, Garrett Hedlund, Caren Pistorius, Brooklynn Prince, and Gil Birmingham.

The Marsh King's Daughter was released in the United States on November 3, 2023, by Lionsgate, Roadside Attractions and STXfilms to mixed to average reviews.

Young Helena lives in the Northern Michigan wilderness with her mother, Beth, and her father, Jacob Holbrook.

Beth begs the man to help them and drive them away before Jacob returns, but Helena refuses to get on the bike, confused by what her mother is saying.

Beth explains that Jacob kidnapped her and took her to the woods years before; Helena refuses to believe her mother, calling her a liar.

Alone at home, Helena retrieves a hidden box of mementos from her childhood, including a hunting knife, wanders into the forest, and swims in an isolated lake.

Helena wakes up from a nightmare thinking Jacob has broken into their house, then discovers fresh dirt on the floor in the morning.

At the farmers market, Helena hears a bird call and sees a man who resembles Jacob walk away.

Helena calls Clark, who tells her to move on, but her paranoia grows once she finds straw dolls in Marigold’s room.

Jacob shows up and repeatedly calls Helena “Little Shadow,” the nickname he gave her, and reveals he never stopped keeping track of her.

Helena insists this is the end of their story and asks Jacob to leave her and her family alone; he agrees, and they hug goodbye.

Helena retrieves a gun and shoots Jacob in the head just before he does the same, telling him she remembers his lesson to always protect her family.

[5] In June 2021, Brooklynn Prince, Gil Birmingham, Caren Pistorius, and Garrett Hedlund joined the cast of the film.

The website's consensus reads: "The Marsh King's Daughter begins with plenty of promise and has a remarkable cast, but they're outweighed by the story's dawdling pace and clumsy conclusion.
