Daddio

This is an actual piece of art, enjoyable, touchy, well driven story telling, and is an example of how you can make an outstanding film with just to actors. It really filled my heart

It's a shame that this movie will be underseen because so many people will read the tag line (two people in a cab) and keep looking. Everything about this movie is spectacular - the setup, acting, and resolution. The movie kind of ebbs and flows as the destination gets closer, but I was completely gripped the entire time. I probably let out a gasp or two as one of the items from the backstory was revealed (although not necessarily to both of the characters). I also can't remember a film that was this intimate - you could really get a feel for different sides of the characters. The entire film is exceptional.

A very good movie and Dakota and Sean were fantastic the way they express the emotions and oh you just feel it and the pacing of the movie was handled well couple of breaks now and rhen

Johnson and Penn's connection is genuine.The two superb performances and the tactful hand of a gifted new director ensures that the audience will still be thinking about these people long after the journey ends.

Once again I'm enamoured by the latest entry into my favourite genre; podcast-on-film. Mumblecore cab ride about human connection between two people with completely different world views and perspectives. Much like an enjoyable conversation, the 90 minutes hurtles by in the blink of an eye as we listen to these two unlikely people unfurl their pasts and emotional baggage in the most cathartic of taxi rides. Surprisingly endearing and the rapport built between Penn and Johnson is palpable, Daddio is a delightful character study that is only let down by its almost inevitable conclusion.

Was looking forward to this since I heard about it several months ago. I tend to gravitate towards dialogue heavy one setting dramas so this fit the bill quite well. Penn and Johnson are great. Some of the choices of the characters were a bit strange in parts, but on the whole it was a rewarding watch. 6.6

This is NOT your casual night ride along in the taxi. Good dialogues and even better Dakota and Sean acting. Had an aesthetic pleasure watching this one.

"Man or woman, people are people. And people get lonely."

All those revelations during the ride haven't got any outcome, just talks basically. But it always astonishing to me how a random stranger person can suddenly affect your life.

A baffling misogynistic mess. The entirety of this movie is a dialogue between Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn. I don't mind that if the conversations are engaging and filled with depth, but that is not the case here. Though I like Dakota, I would rather recommend Am I Okay as a showcase for her acting. Sean Penn's character doesn't really have much background or complexity. At one point, Dakota even comments that he needs to actually say something beyond anecdotes (though he doesn't really do that). Dakota's character is dealing with some relationship drama, and I did think this could be interesting. It's related to a sort of icky situation, but as the story progresses, I became more baffled because both her significant other that is texting her and Sean Penn make gross comments constantly about her. And yet, she seems to mostly take it in stride. Initially, I thought this movie was going to have some sort of twist, some sort of way of framing what is happening in an ironic or satirical light. However, as it reaches its end, you realize that no, the movie somehow seemed to ignore the misogynistic dialogue and almost justify it. It also suddenly shifts to a weird unearned plot development near the end. Overall, even if you aren't that sensitive to the objectifying dialogue, I am not really sure what you'll leave this movie with. There is no flashy cinematography, the dialogue isn't particularly great because it feels like a bunch of drunk teenagers, and the acting is very one-sided. The thematic core is also not exactly clear. I struggle to believe a real woman would have behaved the way Dakota did to either her creepy taxi driver or the creepy person who was preying on her. A complete misfire.
