Come to Daddy
CA/NZ/IE/US 2019 | 93 Min
| DCP
A hipster in midst of an existential crisis sees his father again for the first time after having long since cut all ties to him: the old grouch however is in no mood for a family reunion, but would much rather drive his mild-spirited son mad with various provocations. And yet this is but the beginning of this moody, unpredictable, and vicious thriller comedy, in which the cult actors Stephen McHattie and Elijah Wood shine in their top form. Come to Daddy is the debut feature film by the highly active, successful producer Ant Timpson and is shaped by his love for low-brow cinema. All this is to say: it is a film to laugh, to whimper, and to scream at. In the best case at the same time.
